Just 1. Matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore all matter is energy in a structured form. Therefore everything is energy. So what is the source of energy? Everything. How many structures of matter are there? Infinte, as the exchange of matter to energy and energy to matter are constantly in exchange with each other. Their restructure in form is also changing in shapes. In some casess only minor gradual differences like your body. You don't look exactly the way you did 2 years ago. Similar, but different. A better question would be: How many known ways has the human race currently found and documented in public record of in the manipulation of energy and its exchange and restructure? Waves seem to change the rules as does quantum physics.

There are two main categories of energy sources: renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable sources include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, while renewable sources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, and biomass.
The thermal energy from many sources can be converted into various forms of energy, including mechanical energy for power generation in engines or turbines, electrical energy in power plants, or chemical energy in certain industrial processes.
There are many sources of energy in the world, including fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), renewable sources (such as solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal energy), and nuclear power. Each source of energy has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, environmental impact, and availability.
No, coal is not our primary source of energy. In many countries, the primary sources of energy are oil, natural gas, and renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. Coal has declined in usage due to its environmental impact and the shift towards cleaner energy sources.
The original source of energy for almost all energy sources on Earth is the Sun. Solar energy drives many natural processes, including the formation of fossil fuels and renewable energy sources such as wind and hydroelectric power.
Electricity is the energy used to power many machines. It is a versatile and widely-used form of energy that is generated from a variety of sources such as coal, natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable sources like wind and solar.
