Renewable Energy

Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural sources that are replenished on a human timescale. These energy sources include sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and contribute to environmental pollution when burned, renewable energy is considered sustainable because it can be harnessed continuously without depleting the Earth’s resources. The primary forms of renewable energy include solar power (derived from sunlight), wind power (generated from wind movements), hydroelectric power (produced from flowing water), biomass (organic materials used for energy), and geothermal energy (extracted from the Earth’s internal heat). The use of renewable energy is crucial in efforts to combat climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote a more sustainable and stable energy future. Investing in renewable energy technologies is seen as a key strategy for enhancing energy security and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
