Renewable Energy

Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural sources that are replenished at a faster rate than they are consumed. These sources include sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, geothermal heat, and biomass. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation and climate change, renewable energy sources are sustainable and have a lower impact on the environment. The key characteristic of renewable energy is its ability to regenerate naturally, making it a crucial component in efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat global warming. Common types of renewable energy technologies include solar panels, wind turbines, hydropower systems, and biomass energy systems. Transitioning to renewable energy is essential for creating a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
