Renewable Energy Sources
Today petroleum（石油）provides around 40% of the world's energy needs, mostly
fuelling automobiles.Coal is still used,mostly in power stations,to cover one-quarter of our
energy needs,but it is the least efficient,unhealthiest and most environmentally damaging
fossil fuel（矿物燃料）.Natural gas reserves could fill some of the gap from oil,but reserves
of that will not last into the 22nd century either. Most experts predict we will exhaust easily
accessible reserves within 50 years.Less-polluting renewable energy sources offer a more
practical long-term energy solution."Renewable"refers to the fact that these resources are
not used faster than they can be replaced.
Hydroelectric（水力发电的）power is now the most common form of renewable energy,
suDDIvina around 20%of world electricity.China's Three Gorges Dam is the largest ever.
