This document discusses and provides examples of renewable and non-renewable energy sources. Renewable energy sources include solar energy generated from sunlight, wind power captured via wind turbines, hydraulic energy from falling or running water, and biomass derived from living organisms. Non-renewable sources that do not replenish quickly like coal, petroleum extracted from below ground, and natural gas formed from buried organic materials, are also outlined. Specific renewable technologies and characteristics of coal, petroleum, and natural gas are defined.
