What is renewable energy?
Renewable resource is energy which can be acquired from natural resources that can be constantly restored.
Any energy resource that is naturally restored over a short time scale and obtained straight from the sun (such as thermal, photo-chemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydro-power, and photosynthetic energy kept in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy).
This power, or ‘hydroelectricity’, is created when falling water is funnelled through water turbines.
Any energy resource that is naturally brought back over a brief time scale and derived straight from the sun (such as thermal, photo-chemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydro-power, and photosynthetic energy kept in biomass), or from other natural motions and systems of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). This power, or ‘hydroelectricity’, is produced when falling water is funnelled through water turbines.
Any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a brief time scale and derived straight from the sun (such as thermal, photo-chemical, and photoelectric), indirectly from the sun (such as wind, hydro-power, and photosynthetic energy kept in biomass), or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy).
