The ability of a resource to be used indefinitely. It refers to its potential to last forever without depletion.

The effectiveness of converting a given amount of energy input into useful energy output.

The reliability of a resource refers to its consistent availability and its ability to provide a constant output.

The degree to which an energy source is clean and avoids the production of harmful pollutants or greenhouse gases.

The simplicity of a system refers to its ease of maintenance, operation and troubleshooting.

Fossil Fuels are formed over millions of years from the decomposition of dead organisms buried under the Earth's surface.

Fossil fuels can cause environmental pollution, they are non-renewable, meaning they will eventually run out, and their prices fluctuate due to factors like supply and demand.

Fossil fuels, nuclear energy, renewables, and other sources comprise the main categories of energy resources.

The ability to do work, expressed in units like joules or kilowatt hours (kWh). Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Energy associated with the position, state, or configuration of an object or system. Examples include chemical energy, electrical energy, and nuclear energy.

Energy associated with the motion of an object. Examples include a moving car or a spinning wheel.

The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It's often measured in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW).

Sources of energy that are derived from natural resources that replenish over a relatively short period of time, such as solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, wave, and biomass.

Sources of energy that are derived from finite resources, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) and nuclear power.

The cost of building and installing a system for generating electricity.

The ongoing cost of operating and maintaining an electricity generation system, including fuel and maintenance.
