The main renewable sources of energy to generate electricity are:

  1. Hydro-power (use of water from rivers, dams, tides and ocean waves)
  2. Wind energy (using wind turbines)
  3. Solar power (using the power of the sun to heat water or produce electricity)
  4. Geothermal (using the heat deep under the earth's crust)
  5. Ocean Thermal (using surface heat and deep cold water)
  6. Biofuel (producing ethanol from organic material like corn and sugar cane husks)

See the Related Questions links for more information about each of these methods of producing energy.

Is energy resource or nonrenewable?

Energy can be both a resource and nonrenewable. Renewable energy sources such as sunlight and wind are resources that can be naturally replenished. Nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) are finite and formed over millions of years, making them nonrenewable.

Why cant we get all the power we need from renewable energy sources right now?

We are still dependent on fossil fuels due to factors such as the intermittency of renewable sources like solar and wind energy, limitations in energy storage technology, and the high cost of transitioning existing infrastructure to renewable sources. Additionally, some regions may lack the necessary resources or infrastructure to fully utilize renewable energy at present.
