The energy sources are normally divided into two groups. Renewable and non-renewable. A renewable energy source is an energy source that can never run out. Examples are wind, water and sun. A non-renewable energy source is an energy source that we consume faster than it is produced, such as oil and coal. 4, record 1, English, - energy%20source
