types‚ “renewable” and “nonrenewable” energy sources‚ they both differ in many aspects‚ both of them have advantages and disadvantages‚ and both of them can be generated by many different ways. Renewable energy sources can be found in nature all around us‚ we can generate this energy from sun‚ water sources‚ and wind.

Biomass is a fancy name for material from plants and animals. Some kinds of biomass can be burned to produce energy. One common example is wood. Biomass contains stored energy. That’s because plants absorb energy from the sun through the process of photosynthesis. When biomass is burned‚ this stored energy is released as heat

It is also the last portion of the world’s fauna and flora. Wood which is the main forest produce has been used from the very early days of human civilization. Even though substitute has been

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables
