Nonrenewable Energy Sources

My major use is for transportation. Almost two-thirds of me is imported from other countries. Saudi Arabia has the world's largest known reserves of me. Most of me is refined into gasoline	Natural Gas Petroleum Hydropower

I'm transported chiefly by trains. I'm America's most abundant source of energy. Wyoming, West Virginia, and Kentucky are states that produce me. I generate 51.7% of the nation's electricity.	Coal Uranium Oil

My chemical name is Methane. I'm colorless and odorless. I'm the cleanest burning fossil fuel. I heat more than half the nation's homes.	Natural Gas Solar Energy Biomass

I'm the nation's second leading source for generating electricity. I was first used in 1957 to make electricity. The U.S. leads the world in production of electricity from me. Nevada may someday store my waste products.	Coal Geothermal Uranium

My largest use is in rural areas. I'm a portable source of heat energy. I'm normally stored under pressure in tanks and bottles. I'm buried underground.	Propane Biomass Petroleum

Renewable Energy Sources

I'm limited to certain geographic areas of the U.S. I require the Earth's gravity to work. I might disrupt wildlife and fish when my production facility is built. I provide 25% of the world's electricity.	Wind Natural Gas Hydropower

Ethanol can be made from me and used as a transportation fuel. Photosynthesis stores radiant energy in me. Burning me to produce electricity can produce air pollution. I get my energy from wood, garbage, and agricultural waste.	Biomass Solar Energy Nuclear Power

I'm used mainly in western states. My energy comes from the Earth's core. I get my energy as a result of radioactive decay. I can be used for home heating.	Uranium Geothermal Propane

I convert my mechanical energy directly into electrical energy with no cost for the fuel. I'm caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. In California, my turbines operate 25% of the time, mostly in the Summer. I produce noise pollution, but no air pollution.	Solar Energy Petroleum Wind

I'm not available at all hours of the day. I can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells. My energy is stored in fossil fuels. I'm great for water and home heating.	Biomass Solar Energy Propane
