Power sources.

Have you ever wondered about how electricity gets delivered into your house? If your answer is yes than today is your lucky day because I can tell you everything you need to know about energy.

Mother nature.
Mother nature provides us with all the products we need to create energy. It  provides us with Fossil fuels, which includes natural gas, coal, and oil however fossil fuels can run out and that’s why people say that it is non - renewable because once it runs out, we can never use it again. Mother nature also provides us with hydroelectricity, solar, geothermal, wind power and biomass. These energy sources are great because they are renewable. Renewable means that it can’t run out so I suggest that people start using renewable energy instead of nonrenewable energy.
Power plants.
Power plants generates these energy sources and uses them to move the turbines around and around to help make more electricity. which goes along the electricity power lines then reaches to the substation. It then gets delivered to the grid where it goes to the transformer.  The transformer helps to take away some of the volts from 765, 000 to just 110 because if we deliver too much energy to your house, the fuse will explode causing a blackout.
Street power lines and your home.
The voltage from the transformer gets delivered to the power lines right in front of your house. and that’s where the long journey ends.

I hope you enjoyed reading this and hopefully you learnt something. exciting about electricity.
