This is all i know and i hope it helps.

1. OIL- It is nearly run out.

2. SOLAR ENERGY- The sun is above our heads, shining until the world ends. Why not use it? One problem: solar energy is expensive!

3. Hydro electric power- Ever been on a powerful river? That current is strong! The river powers turbines that provide electricity. Water will keep flowing as long as the world is alive! We're already aware of the effects of damming up a river, sometimes causing loss of homes, but it's still a good source of energy.

4. Wind turbines- they help create energy which we use every day.

5. and last of all - Geothermal Power- Hot springs are a natural relaxation spot for many people. They can also be used for power! The steam and hot water can be used to turn turbines, and can also heat houses and buildings. Not only do you have a way to soak and relax, you have a power source, too! Sadly, not too many places in the world are prime spots for this type of power.
