Coal, crude oil, and natural gas are all considered fossil fuels because they were formed
from the buried remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago.
Uranium ore, a solid, is mined and converted to a fuel used at nuclear power plants.
Uranium is not a fossil fuel, but it is classified as a nonrenewable fuel.
Solar Power
Cost of the solar panels is still relatively high compared to other forms of energy
Amount of energy generated by the cells is a product of insolation, or how much sun
reaches the cells
Storage cell (battery) technology needs to advance to hold electricity to cover
days of little to no sunshine
Geothermal Energy
Hydroelectric Power
