    This document summarizes different sources of energy, dividing them into renewable and non-renewable categories. Non-renewable sources include fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas, which are formed over long periods from remains of prehistoric plants and animals. Renewable sources include solar, wind, hydropower, nuclear and geothermal energy, which occur continuously in nature. The document also discusses various technologies that harness these different energy sources like solar panels, windmills, hydroelectric plants and more.
