All forms of energy are stored in the energy sources that we use every day. These sources are
divided into two groups: renewable (an energy source that can be replenished in a short period of
time), and nonrenewable (an energy source that we are using up and cannot recreate in a short period
of time). Renewable and nonrenewable energy sources can be used to produce secondary sources
including electricity and hydrogen.
Renewable energy sources include wind, solar energy from the sun, geothermal energy from
inside the earth, biomass from plants, and hydropower and ocean energy from water. However, we get
most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include fossil fuels - oil, natural gas.
