Types of Energy

| [Modern civilization is put in dilemma of possible energy lack and everyday necessity to satisfy growing material and cultural needs.]⁰ Energy is generated from both non-renewable and renewable sources.

[Non-renewable energy includes three major types of fossil fuels — coal, oil and natural gas — deposited in the earth over millions of years. Since fossil fuels require a simple combustion to produce pow­er, they are rather cheap. However, fossil fuels are consumed much more rapidly than they can be replaced. It means, one day we shall run out of fuel reserves.]⁰

Wood once expelled by coal and gas has been the solitary source of energy for centuries. Nowadays both gas and oil are closely connected with technological progress and standards of living.

[Uranium is one of the most perspective sources of energy for it doesn't emit CO2 causing global warming and climate changes.]⁰ Nuclear power generation has by-product wastes: tremendous emis­sion of radioactive products and heat.

[Renewable sources of energy are very attractive because of their quick replenishment.]⁰ They are five: hydropower, solar, wind, bio- mass, and geothermal* energy.

The most popular way to utilize solar energy is thermal systems. Large centralized solar plants are known as 'power towers' with small rotating mirrors the top of towers to focus heat and turn water into steam for industrial purposes.

Hydropower generates electricity with no GHG effect. Since the supply of hydropower is water, hydropower stations are to be close to a water resource.

Mechanical energy depends on directing, harnessing or channe­ling water.

[To make daily life comfortable, productive and pleasant highly developed societies consume vast amounts of energy for heating, cooking, transportation, manufacturing, and entertainment.]⁰ The choices of how to make and use energy impacts greatly the environ-

ment and human lives.

means earth and 'thermal' is concerned with or caused by heat. (1 700 п.зн.)
