Renewable energy is the energy that is derived from the earth. It is obtained from resource
that Mother Nature keeps on replacing continuously, like wind, water and sunshine. Renewable
energy is also called ‘Clean Energy’ or ‘Green Power’ because it does not harm the environment by
causing pollution. There are five main types of renewable energy: Solar energy ,wind
power, hydropower, geothermal energy , and biomass.
The solar energy or the rays from the sun can help to heat a building or a pool and they can
be turned into electricity using solar cells. Wind energy generates electricity from the power of the
wind. Also, Water from dams and rivers or hydropower can be used to spin turbines and generate
electricity. Geothermal energy , in other words, heat from inside the Earth can be used to heat
homes and buildings with heat pumps and the steam from inside the Earth can also be used to
generate electricity. Biomass energy is plant or animal material used as fuel to produce electricity or
heat like wood, energy crops ,and waste from forests.
Many renewable energy sources are also better for the environment than burning fossil fuels.
They produce less pollution which will help protect the environment and provide us with cleaner air
and water. Also, clean energy is an essentially limitless source of power and it provides many health
benefits.
