Energy.gov lists the following resources as the primary sources of energy on Earth:
Nuclear energy, fossil energy (oil, coal and natural gas), and renewable energy (wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower).
The following are listed as clean energy (solar, wind, water, geothermal, biomass and nuclear). (I have to beg the difference where nuclear is concerned because spent fuel rods need to be stored somewhere and whenever a power plant has a disaster, the surrounding area becomes a toxic wasteland.
It’s also interesting that the fact that fossil fuels are “dirty” is conveniently omitted.
