The term”renewable energy” (also usually called alternative energy) encompasses a variety of power generation sources. It refers to energy resources that occur naturally and repeatedly in the environmental and can be harnessed for human benefit. Some examples of renewable energy systems are solar, wind, and geothermal energy. We also get renewable energy from trees and plants, rivers, and even garbage. Renewable energy encompasses many different types of technology at different stages of development and commercialisation, from the burning of wood for heat in the residential sector to wind-generated electricity to processes such as biomass gasification for electricity generation
The advantages of using renewable energy sources are considerable. From an environmental standpoint, solar, wind and waterpower are all non-emission power sources. No harmful exhaust is produced when using alternative energy generators as usually yielded by combustion power plants. There is also no worry about toxic or radioactive waste products, as there is with nuclear power. In addition to the lack of emissions and waste products, no valuable resources are used up with renewable resource power generation.
