Renewable energy is energy that originates from natural sources‚ which is a continuing and nonpolluting energy that is replenished due to its perpetual natural motion. These sources are commonly solar‚ geothermal‚ wind and tidal energies. Comparing different countries’ use of renewable energies -- in Portugal this year‚ close to 45 percent of its electricity will come from renewable energy sources (Rosenthal‚ 2010). This compared to 10.1 percent in the United States (U.S. Energy Administration

INTRODUCTION: ENERGY FROM THE SUN The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the earth. Solar energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. Solar energy can be converted

Renewable Energy INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Renewable energy is a new concept to some people but in actuality it has been around and talked about for many years. What it is is energy that comes from a source that is not depleted when used‚ and can be replenished. Some of these sources are wind‚ rain and sunlight. Renewable energy can replace the common standard fuels humans use in the generation of electricity‚ hot water and heating‚ and motor fuels (“How Solar Energy Works
