Everyone always seems to only ask "where did matter come from?"

The main source of all energy on Earth is the Sun. Solar energy is responsible for powering most processes on our planet, including photosynthesis, weather patterns, and the water cycle.
Energy can be stored and released in various forms. Some common ways include chemical energy, such as in food or batteries, and potential energy, such as in a compressed spring or in water held behind a dam. When these forms of energy are converted into other forms, such as heat, light, or motion, they are released.
Renewable energy comes from natural sources that can be replenished, such as solar, wind, and hydro power. Non-renewable energy, on the other hand, comes from sources that cannot be replenished, such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas.
Energy travels in different ways depending on the source and how it is being used. For example, electrical energy can be transported through power lines, while heat energy can be transferred through pipes or by radiation. Energy can also be stored and transported in the form of fuels, such as gasoline or natural gas.
The environmental impacts of energy sources can vary greatly. Renewable energy sources generally have less impact on the environment compared to non-renewable sources, which can produce greenhouse gas emissions, air and water pollution, and contribute to climate change. However, the production and installation of renewable energy technologies can also have environmental consequences, such as land use and wildlife impacts.
