ENERGY
Among the main sources of energy used by humans to develop their activities are non-renewable ones such as fossil and nuclear fuels and natural gas, as well as renewable sources such as hydroelectricity, geothermal energy, biomass, solar and wind. These energy sources also differ considerably from one another when we consider generation, which can occur centrally (eg: nuclear power plant) or decentralized (solar energy); And distribution. In the latter case, due to the material and technologies used, hydroelectric and thermoelectric power plants present considerable losses of energy in terms of transmission. The large hydroelectricity, although renewable, still causes in many cases serious socio-environmental impacts, due to flooded area for its operation, and expulsion of local populations from their lands.
