What Energy Sources Do You Use?
Think about how you use energy every day. Where does all that energy come from? You use electricity when you turn on lights, watch TV, or use a computer. A kitchen stove might run on electricity, natural gas, or propane gas. 
The heating system in a home or apartment might run on heating oil, natural gas, propane, or even wood. A school bus could be powered by diesel fuel or natural gas.
