ENERGY RESOURCES


Most of the ENERGY around us originates from the SUN. The Sun´s energy reaches Earth and is converted into many forms which we then use to supply our energy demands.

Many things around us require energy in order to function. TV set and stereo, microwave oven and electric kettle, computer and refrigerator - all of them need energy to work. Besides, energy is also necessary to make a car run, to keep the house warm or to heat water for showers.

Energy is produced or generated from natural resources, which are usually called energy sources. The examples of energy sources are gas, oil, water, sun and wind. However, not all energy sources are created equal. Some of them can be dangerous for the environment we live in.

That is why people decided to find other sources of energy, which would not harm the air and the amount of which would never end. Such types of energy sources are called alternative. All of these sources give us “clean” energy, because it is safe for people and for the environment we live in.
