NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY (energa no renovable): it is the energy that comes

from the ground and the sea. They are going to disappear and
they cant be replaced. (Provienen de la tierra y del mar. Van a desaparecer y no pueden ser
sustituidos).

RENEWABLE ENERGY (energa renovable): it is the energy that is not going to disappear and it
doesnt pollute (no va a desaparecer y no contamina).

1. SOLAR ENERGY (energa solar) 2. WIND ENERGY (energa elica) 3. HYDROPOWER (energa hidroelctrica)

It comes from the Sun.
We use solar panels
to transform this energy into
electrical or thermal energy.
It comes from the wind. It comes from moving water (agua
en movimiento).
