  • Abstract
    Power is available from two different sources: nonrenewable (coal, fuel, natural gas) and renewable (wind, solar, hydro, wave). Nonrenewable sources have limited potential and they are expected to diminish within the next centuries due to high rates of exploitation. This is one of many other reasons why clean and renewable energy resources are currently sought.
