            Abstract

            The universe consists of energy and matter, with energy traveling linearly and matter circulating and recyclable on Earth. The sun is the primary source of energy for the planet, utilized by plants through photosynthesis and consumed by other organisms for movement. The laws of energy state that it can be converted but not created or destroyed, with plants storing energy in biomass and living organisms releasing energy as gases and heat. The article discusses the challenges of traditional energy production and the need for alternative sources, but notes the limitations and expenses associated with such solutions. Economic development often leads to habitat loss and species diversity reduction, and alternative energy sources should be approached with caution. Rationalizing power distribution, reducing subsidies, and promoting awareness of energy loss should be prioritized, along with decentralized, locally generated power solutions.
