How Oil is Made
Oil is made from plankton that has died and settled its remains at the bottom of the sea. Once they die they are compressed with more sediments on top and heated throughout time. After a long time has passed the dead plankton turns into oil and it can be used for multiple uses. Oil can be used to make plastic and polyester shirts.

Coal
Coal is very cheap and can be used to make electricity. using coal to power electricity makes it cheaper for the consumer to afford to pay it in their homes. Coal can bring countries out of poverty since it is so cheap. But coal also has it down sides because it can pollute the air and because it is dirt that spreads anywhere.

Nuclear Energy
Nuclear is powerful than any other energy source. Nuclear makes out out about 20% the electricity in the U.S. When the fuel is no longer strong enough to make electricity it becomes radio active. In 50 year we have only had 3 accidents and only one has had radiation. So we know that when using radio energy it can be dangerous.
