Renewable energy refers to energy derived from natural processes that are replenished at a rate equal to or faster than the rate of consumption. This category of energy sources includes sunlight (solar power), wind (wind power), water (hydropower), geothermal energy, and biomass. Unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, which are finite and contribute to environmental degradation, renewable energy sources are more sustainable and have lower environmental impact. The transition to renewable energy is essential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, combating climate change, and ensuring a sustainable energy future. As technological advancements continue, renewable energy is becoming increasingly viable and cost-effective, playing a crucial role in the global energy landscape.
