                                                            1. Fossil fuels
                                                              1. Coal
                                                                1. Natural gasses
                                                                  1. Oil
                                                                    1. All get burned to heat up things to power things
                                                                      1. Fossil fuels are a highly compressed, ancient once living matter. A very concentrated form of chemical energy. Can be used for heating, transport and generating electricity.
                                                                2. Renewable
                                                                  1. Bio-fuel
                                                                    1. The chemical energy stored in living organisms can be used for heating, transport and generating electricity.
                                                                    2. Geo-thermal
                                                                      1. Deep underground the earths rocks are naturally very hot due to radio-activity decay. We can turn their thermal energy into electricity.
                                                                      2. The sun
                                                                        1. The earth gets heat and light from the sun all the time.
                                                                        2. Wave capture
                                                                          1. The wind blowing on the water makes waves. These waves have kinetic energy. Using machines that bob up and down in the waves, this energy can be turned into electricity which we can use in our homes.
                                                                          2. Neuclear

                                                                            2. Hydro-electric
                                                                              1. Energy from rivers. The sun powers the water cycle and HEP uses water falling under gravity to turn turbines, to make electricity.
