Renewable energy has the power to change our lives forever Whether it’s solar or any other green power source like wind, hydro or biomass, using renewable energy creates proven environmental, economic and even human health benefits.
Renewable Energy Overview
Renewable energy comes from naturally occurring and virtually inexhaustible sources such as the sun, wind, water, and plants. Any energy source deemed “renewable” cannot be used up or depleted, and it must be renewed frequently (within the average human lifespan) and naturally.
Additionally, renewable energy is not the same thing as clean or green energy. While many renewable sources of energy are considered clean energy, that term specifically refers to the environmental impact of a power source. This is why nuclear energy can be considered, in some circles, clean (but not green).
Green energy is actually a subset of renewables, representing the most environmentally beneficial resources. This includes:
Solar energy
Wind energy
Geothermal energy
Biogas energy
Biomass energy
Low-impact hydropower
Renewable energy sources not considered green include:
Large-scale hydropower
Energy from burning solid waste
