Renewable Energy

Renewable energy refers to energy generated from natural sources that are continuously replenished and not depleted by usage. These sources include sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Renewable energy is considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to fossil fuels, as it contributes to lower carbon emissions and reduced pollution. The main types of renewable energy include solar energy (captured from sunlight), wind energy (generated by wind currents), hydroelectric energy (produced from flowing water), biomass energy (derived from organic materials), and geothermal energy (extracted from the heat beneath the Earth’s surface). The transition to renewable energy is seen as a crucial step in combating climate change and reducing reliance on finite resources.
