1
Heat energy is a degree of warm or hotness in an
object. We can feel heat by touching a hot object.
2
Energy sources can be categorized as renewable or
non-renewable
Natural gas
Coal Fossil fuels
Petroleum
Plutonium
Uranium Radioactive metals
3
Both renewable and non-renewable energy have
their advantages and disadvantages towards our
economy.
4
weather for sources of supply: rain, wind, and
future.
Difficult to Generate in Large Quantity:
Another disadvantage of renewable energy is
that it is difficult to generate large amount
of energy as those produced by coal powered
plants.
Large Capital Cost: Initial investments are
quite high in case of building renewable energy
plants.
Large Tracts of Land Required: To meet up with
the large quantities of electricity produced by
fossil fuels, large amount of solar panels and
wind farms need to be set up.

Solar energy is a renewable energy that we get from
the sun which is the main source of energy for all th
living things on earth. It gives us both heat and
light, without it we would not be able to survive on
this planet as it will be too cold. Nowadays,
technology is being created to use this energy to
heat our water and generate electricity for us at
home to replace fossil fuels.

Generate Heat for Hot Water
Solar systems can heat the water in your home to
fill your hot-water tank. These tanks must be well-
insulated to maintain the hot water temper ature once
the sun goes down. These systems also typically
require a hot-water tank to have a back-up heating
system, but the U.S. Department of Energy estimates
your cost savings of water-heating bills to be 50
percent to 80 percent. Some fairly inexpensi ve
systems also heat the water in swimming pools.
Public Uses
More cities are turning to solar-powered road signs
to let you know how fast you're going or to convey
messages of accidents ahead. Companies are using
solar power to provide electronic advertisement
screens. Everywhere you turn, little solar panels are
popping up to power all kinds of electronic
displays.
Miscellaneous Uses
Almost every electronic device that contains GPS or
receives information via satellite, such as pagers
and cellphones, use some of the oldest solar
technology around. Satellites that link us to most
mass forms of media directly or indirectly use the
sun's rays to power them.

Environment protection
When we heat our homes in the winter or power our
cars on a daily basis, we are using non-renewable
resources for our energy. These resources release
tons of pollutants into the air that we breathe, and
they are being released by people worldwide.
Whether you believe in global warming or not, these
pollutants are not doing our environment any good
and conserving energy in our own home is the only
way that we can control our pollutant output. If
everyone would conserve energy a bit more there
would be much less pollution in the world, making
it a happier and healthier place.

Improve air tightness with weather stripping,
caulking, air vapour seals.
