Are there different meaning between "source" and "resource"? Are they same used?

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 :)

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?
