Energy supply must be sustainable and diverse. And energy needs to be used more efficiently.
A sustainable energy supply, both in the short- and the long-term, is needed for promoting both economic development and people's quality of life, as well as protecting the environment.
We also need a greater diversification of energy resources - if we are largely dependent on one fuel source, we risk price rises and supply disruptions.
Energy is a precious resource which must be conserved. Improved energy efficiency, therefore, in our homes, factories and transport needs to be strongly encouraged.

Examples:-
Conventional (or usual) sources of energy (electricity) are coal, oil, wood, peat, uranium.
Non-conventional (or unusual) sources of energy include:
- Solar power
- Hydro-electric power (dams in rivers)
- Wind power
- Tidal power
- Ocean wave power
- Geothermal power (heat from deep under the ground)
- Ocean thermal power (the difference in heat between shallow and deep water)
- Biomass (burning of vegetation to stop it producing methane)
- Biofuel (producing ethanol (petroleum) from plants
Thumbs up please....!!!!!
