Renewable Energy

Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural sources that replenish themselves over short periods of time. Unlike fossil fuels, which are finite and take millions of years to form, renewable energy resources are consistently available and include sources such as sunlight (solar energy), wind (wind energy), water (hydropower), biomass, and geothermal heat. These energy forms are considered more sustainable and environmentally friendly because they produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions during use. The transition to renewable energy is seen as vital for reducing reliance on fossil fuels, mitigating climate change, and promoting energy security, as it can help diversify energy supply and enhance resilience against market fluctuations and resource depletion.
