The document discusses different types of energy sources, including fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas that are non-renewable and were formed over millions of years from buried plants and animals. It notes that fossil fuels cause climate change by releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and can cause environmental damage through acid rain, polluting smoke, and oil spills. Renewable sources that can be replenished like solar and wind are also mentioned.
