Renewable resources are those that can be replaced by natural means at a rate similar to its rate of consumption.

Non-renewable resources are those that cannot be re-grown or regenerated at a rate similar to its rate of consumption.

SolarLight energy from the sun is trapped by solar cells in solar panels and transformed into electricity.

WindWindmills have large turbines that can generate electricity when turned by the wind.

TidesTidal barrages use the incoming and outgoing tides to spin turbines to generate electricity.

CoalCoal can be burned to heat water to make steam which can spin turbines and generate electricity.

OilOil can be refined and gasoline created which can be burned by engines to do work.

Hydroelectric DamDams use the power of gravity pulling on water to spin turbines as water passes through the dam to create electricity.

Nuclear Power PlantA nuclear reactor can harness the power of a nuclear reaction to produce electricity from sources such as uranium.

Natural GasNatural gas can be burned to create heat or motion to do work.
