Renewable energy‚ a source of energy that holds a significant promise to help reduce the amount of toxins that are by-product of too much energy use and bring a positive impact on our planet that we currently use as our source of energy.These include energy from water(Hydropower)‚ wind‚ the sun(solar power)‚ geothermal sources‚ and biomass fuel. In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable

Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables‚ with 10% coming from traditional biomass‚ which is mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewables
