The introduction named the energy sources; this lesson explains how they are actually produced. Where a commodity comes from, how hard it is to extract, and how it has to be processed all feed directly into its supply, its cost, and the risks that move its price, so this is foundational knowledge for trading any of them. We work through how fossil fuels are explored and extracted, then how the main renewable sources capture and convert natural energy into power, and we keep an eye throughout on the practical and environmental constraints that limit supply. The recurring theme is that the difficulty and cost of getting energy out of the ground or out of the wind is the bedrock of the supply side a trader has to understand.
