Most of our energy is non-renewable
In the Philippines, most energy sources for doing work are non-renewable energy sources:
Oil Products
Natural Gas
Coal
These energy sources are called nonrenewable because their supplies are limited to the amounts that we can mine or extract from the earth. Coal, natural gas, and oil formed over thousands of years from the buried remains of ancient sea plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. That is why we also call those energy sources fossil fuels.

There are six major renewable energy sources:
The major types or sources of renewable energy are:
Solar energy from the sun
Geothermal energy from heat inside the earth
Wind energy from the movement of air
Hydropower from flowing water
Biomass from plants and animals
Ocean from wave, tidal and ocean thermal
They are called renewable energy sources because they are naturally replenished. Day after day, the sun shines, plants grow, wind blows, and rivers flow.
Renewable Energy is no longer an alternative, but a priority. With the current situation brought by the pandemic, developments in the industry will surely lean towards the more resilient and sustainable option of energy, RE. To learn more, click the following links:
