Electricity Source
Have you ever wondered how your mobile device and other electronic devices are
charged? Besides keeping us digitally connected, electricity also saves lives in hospitals, powers
industry and keeps the U.S. economy going. Whether it's a 19th Century energy source like coal
or 21st Century source like solar, it's worth knowing how electric energy works, how it's
generated and where the juice that powers our lives comes from.
Electric energy is created by the flow of electrons, often called "current," through a
conductor, such as a wire. The amount of electric energy created depends on the number of
electrons flowing and the speed of the flow. Energy can either be potential or kinetic. A lump of
coal, for example, represents potential energy that becomes kinetic when it is burned.
Electricity cannot be mined from the ground like coal. So it is called a secondary source
of energy, meaning that it is derived from primary sources, including coal, natural gas, nuclear
fission reactions, sunlight, wind, and hydropower. Most direct uses of primary energy are limited
to generating heat and motion. Electricity, by contrast, is extremely versatile, with a wide range
of complex applications. Electricity plays such an essential role in contemporary life that its
supply and demand are often examined separately from the primary sources used to produce it.
Generating electricity using renewable sources is a challenging task, but some progress is
being made. According to EIA projections, the share of total energy used by power plants from
sources such as solar, wind, and geothermal is projected to reach 28% by 2040. However,
integrating the energy from many of these renewable sources would likely require expansion and
enhancement of the electric transmission system, such as the addition of more power lines.

Essential (adj) : perlusekali
Contemporary (adj) : kontenporer
Integrate (v) : mengintegrasikan
Expansion (nom) : ekspansi
Enhancement (nom) : peningkatan
