Oil and Gas
In Canada, many of the things we take for granted in our day-to-day lives run on crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil meets most of our transportation needs by fueling cars, buses, trucks and planes. Natural gas is the biggest source of heat for our homes and businesses. Many of the products we use every day — including all plastics, many household products and some clothing — are by-products of oil and gas.
Solar Energy
Since the word "solar" means from the sun, solar energy is the energy that comes to us from the sun as light energy. The sun's energy is transformed into heat as its strikes the land, sea or any object. The heat produced by the sun drives the world's weather systems including wind, rain and river flow. We rely on energy from the sun for our warmth, food, wind and water. We simply could not live on the earth without it!
Wind Energy
Did you know that the wind can be harnessed to produce electrical power for everything from a single house to an entire city? About 120 years ago, people started to use the wind to generate electricity. Today, wind power is one of the most popular renewable energies.
