Substances that cannot be replenished at the same rate at which they are consumed constitute a finite supply of energy. These sources are characterized by their formation over geological timescales, rendering their... Read more »
Energy resources that naturally replenish on a human timescale are recognized as sustainable. Examples include solar power, derived from sunlight; wind energy, harnessed from moving air; geothermal energy, originating from the Earth’s... Read more »
The question of optimal energy sources revolves around the comparison of sustainable resources, like solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power, with finite resources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas)... Read more »
