What is Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy is an energy that is generated from sources that naturally replenish themselves and never run out.
Source renewable energy
A renewable energy source means energy that is sustainable - something that can't run out, or is endless, like the sun. When you hear the term 'alternative energy' it's usually referring to renewable energy sources too. It means sources of energy that are alternatives to the most commonly used non-sustainable sources - like coal.
Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy.
The most popular renewable energy sources currently are:
Solar energy.
Wind energy.
Hydro energy.
Tidal energy.
Geothermal energy.
Biomass energy.
