We divide our energy use among four economic sectors: residential, commercial, transportation, and industrial. Heating and cooling our homes, lighting office buildings, driving cars and moving freight, and manufacturing the products we rely on in our daily lives are all functions that require energy.All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions.
When stored energy is being used to do something, we call it kinetic energy; "kinetic" means movement and, generally, when stored energy is being used up, it is making things move or happen.So yes, we will run out of electricity if we continue to rely on the burning of fossil fuels to drive transportation, power our personal energy devices, control the temperature of our homes, or run our industries. But that's not the way our world is. ... Second, more of the energy you consume daily is electricity.
