World energy resources and consumption

Energy is like food; it is a type of fuel that people, animals, and machines need to do things. There are different types of energy, like electricity, heat, and power.

The world has many different sources of energy, like the sun, wind, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power. All of these different sources are called energy resources.

People and machines all over the world use energy every day. This is called energy consumption. For example, when you turn on lights in your house, you are using electricity and consuming energy.

Using energy resources can be very helpful, but it can also cause pollution in the environment. So, it is important to find ways to use energy efficiently. That means using just enough energy to do what you need, and not wasting it.
