 Main types of non-renewable sources of energy
1. Coal
• Comes from the remains of plants that died hundreds of millions of years ago
• Has the highest level of carbon of all fossil fuels

2. Oil
• Obtained from the plant remains being decomposed for several millions years
• Extracted in crude form, refined to obtain gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, chemicals, etc.

3. Natural Gas
• Formed from the remains of sea plants and animals that died millions of years ago
• Mainly composed of methane

4. Nuclear Energy
• Energy released when atoms’ nuclei are fused together (fusion) or split apart (fission)
• Nuclear power plants produce electricity through nuclear fission
