Renewable Energy

Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural processes that are continually replenished. This includes resources like sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and can deplete over time, renewable energy sources are abundant and can produce energy indefinitely as long as natural processes are allowed to continue. The main types of renewable energy include solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, biomass energy, and geothermal energy. Renewable energy is viewed as a cleaner alternative to conventional energy sources because it typically has a lower environmental impact, producing little to no greenhouse gases during operation. The transition to renewable energy is crucial for reducing dependence on fossil fuels, combating climate change, and promoting sustainable development.
