Source by definition means a place from which you can get something. A resource by definition means something that can be used for something else (or applied for something else). This means that a source can provide resources because that is the place from which resources come from. A "water source" provides a resource for people to use, and that would be water itself. A gold mine is a source of gold, because that's where gold comes from. Makes sense? Hope so :)

Source = n. from where something comes = "The source of the river place of origination person or document providing information Resource = n. one's inner strength possessions, ability asset. supplies of raw material which bring a country/person wealth

Hi Best, I associate with 'source' the words 'origin' and 'spring'. The Merriam Webster dictionary says: Source = a point or place at which something is invented or provided <we were uncertain as to the source of the rumors> <a source of inspiration> Synonyms cradle, font, fountain, fountainhead, origin, root, seedbed, spring, well, wellspring With the word 'resource' I allocate the words 'utilities', 'supplies' and 'equipment. The Merriam Webster dictionary says: Resource = something that one uses to accomplish and end especially when the usual means is not available <we used every possible resource to raise the funds needed to save our town's oldest house> Kind regards, Georg

Are "an" energy resource. Or "energy resources." Yes, that is right.

I read the sentences "Nuclear power and renwable power are energy resources." "Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is a renewable energy source." So that, PV is energy source. Nuclear and renewable power are energy resource. Alright?
