power sources
Where electricity comes
Power sources are things that supply energy for work or operation.
The term covers everything from batteries and electrical outlets to fossil fuels, nuclear reactors, and renewable options like solar and wind.
In figurative use, a power source might be whatever drives or sustains something: Coffee is my main power source in the morning.
