Energy resources
There are two main sources of energy: conventional and non-conventional. Conventional sources include wood, flowing water, and fossil fuels like coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Non-conventional sources consist of solar, wind, biomass, ocean, geothermal, and nuclear energy. Various institutions collect data on worldwide energy consumption and production. Energy policy governs a country's approach to energy development, production, distribution, and consumption through legislation, treaties, and economic incentives and disincentives. A country's energy policy establishes goals for self-sufficiency, future energy sources and consumption, environmental standards, and mechanisms to implement the overall policy.

Typically measured per-year, it involves all energy harnessed from every energy source we use, applied towards humanity's endeavors across every industrial and technological sector, across every country. Atul Vijay P. IV Sem MBA (IB)
- 5. 2/4/2013 Who collects thedata? Institutions such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), and the European Environment Agency record and publish energy data periodically. Improved data and understanding of World Energy Consumption may reveal systemic trends and patterns, which could help frame current energy issues and encourage movement towards collectively useful solutions.

Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including Energy production, distribution consumption. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques.

Editor's Notes
- #6 The International Energy Agency (IEA; French: Agenceinternationale de l'énergie) is aParis-based autonomous intergovernmental organization established in the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1974 in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis. The IEA was initially dedicated to responding to physical disruptions in the supply of oil, as well as serving as an information source on statistics about the international oil market and other energy sectors.The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is the statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy. EIA collects, analyzes, and disseminates independent and impartial energy information to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment.The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union(EU). Its task is to provide sound, independent information on the environment. It is a major information source for those involved in developing, adopting, implementing and evaluating environmental policy, and also the general public.
