A source of energy that is dependent on a primary source of energy for its power. Since the production of electricity, for example, is dependent on the use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, or renewable sources, it is referred to as a secondary energy source.
Because it is a cleaner source of power than oil or coal, nuclear energy is often mistakenly referred to as a renewable resource. The sources of the energy that people use the world over fall into two general categories: renewable and nonrenewable.While the supply of renewable resources, such as sunshine and wind, is virtually limitless, nonrenewable resource supplies are finite.Some nonrenewable resources, including oil and coal, are the product of millions of years of conversion from fossils, the buried remains of ancient plants and animals.ecause it is a cleaner source of power than oil or coal, nuclear energy is often mistakenly referred to as a renewable resource.
