Sources of Energy – From Ancient Times to Modern Era

Page 1: Introduction & Transformation of Energy Sources

Introduction
Energy is essential for all human activities — from lighting homes to running industries.
Over time, our sources of energy have evolved greatly.

Transformation of Energy Sources in the Modern Era


- Past: People relied on firewood, coal, and manual labor.
- Now: We use clean and efficient sources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and nuclear
energy.
- Advancements:
- Use of solar panels and wind turbines.
- Electric vehicles (EVs) replacing petrol vehicles.
- Smart grids for energy distribution.
- Battery storage systems for backup.

Picture Suggestion: A timeline showing energy transformation:

Wood → Coal → Petroleum → Solar/Wind/Nuclear

Page 4: Alternatives, Impacts & Eco-Friendly Ideas

Energy Alternatives & Their Impact on Humans


Source Impact
Solar Clean, but needs sunlight
Wind Clean, but noisy and location-specific
Nuclear Powerful, but risk of radiation
Biogas Sustainable, suitable for rural use
Geothermal Clean, but limited to volcanic zones

Making Energy Sources Eco-Friendly (Modern Tech)


- Install carbon capture systems in coal plants.
- Use AI to monitor and reduce waste.
- Develop eco-friendly batteries for energy storage.
- Promote solar rooftops and electric vehicles.
- Build offshore wind farms to save land.

Conclusion
Modern science and technology have made energy cleaner and more efficient. By investing
in renewable sources and reducing pollution, we can build a sustainable and healthy future
for all.
