This course
includes a comprehensive study of the most important non-renewable energy
sources represented in coal, oil, natural gas and minerals .... It includes an
overview of old energy sources and an explanation of the importance and
necessity of searching for alternatives to fossil energy, as well as studying
renewable energy sources (clean) solar energy, wind energy And the tides. Which
makes the personality of the future teacher a personality with extensive
experience on energy sources and it is possible to solve any problem facing his
country, so do not progress without making the best use of all the resources of
the state. And also explain any information contained in the textbook as a
result of the prior culture of this course.
