There are many different ways in which the abundance of
energy around us can be stored, converted, and amplified
for our use. To help you understand the key energy
sources that will play an important role in the world's
future, we have designed a number of pages to familiarize
you with some of the history, theory, economics, and
problems of the various types of energy.
The energy
sources have been split into three categories: fossil
fuels, renewable sources, and nuclear sources. The fossil
fuels covered here are coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
The renewable energy sources are solar, wind,
hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal power. The
nuclear-powered sources are fission and fusion.
All of the pages can be reached from anywhere within
the "Types" section by the links on the left
column. Remember, understanding the implications of ALL
the energy sources will enable you to gain the insight
you need, both to successfully rule your country in the
energy crisis game and to perhaps to one day discover a way
to solve the real-life energy problem.
On the LEFT column, there are links available.
Clicking on a link at any time will take you to the main
page of the particular topic. Below are the links to the
three categories of energy.
