Mostly from fossil and nuclear power stations What is the problem with these energy sources? They deplete the Earth’s resources and have a negative impact on the environment and climate.

Nuclear power stations don’t emit carbon dioxide, but they are expensive and produce harmful radioactive waste. What is renewable energy? Energy that is generated using resources that are abundant and naturally replenished such as solar, wind and hydro. However, they are dependent on the weather. What is the energy transition?
