Energy is a feature of a product and transportation
Material energy[edit | edit source]
- w:Diesel fuel (Trucks, cars, trains...)
- w:Gasoline (multiple octanes, unleaded vs. leaded) (cars, motorcycles...)
- w:Biofuel (cars)
- w:Fuel oil (ships)
- w:Kerosene (airplanes)
- w:Hydrogen (cars)
- w:Wood (heating, cooking...)
- w:Charcoal (cooking)
Electricity[edit | edit source]
Electricity is produced from:
- Oil
- w:Nuclear power (causes nearly permanent damage in the form of making radioactive materials from less radioactive ones)
- w:Coal
- w:Natural gas
- w:Solar energy
- w:Hydroelectricity
- w:Wind power
- w:Wood
- w:Peat
- w:Lignite
Natural[edit | edit source]
- w:Sun (farming, heating...)
- w:Wind (sailing)
- w:Animal (carrying)
- w:Human (human labor)
- w:Waterflow (transport)
