Renewable Energy

Renewable energy is a term used to describe a source of energy that has the capability to refill itself. Renewable energy is sometimes called infinite energy. Renewable energy is also known as green or clean energy, because it does not produce toxins or pollutants that are harmful and dangerous to the environment.

Planet earth is going on a critical phase, due to the fossil fuels being consumed worldwide every day. Jimmy Carter once stated on a televised in April 18, 1977 that "Because we are now running out of gas and oil, we must prepare quickly for a third change, to strict conservation and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy sources, like solar power."

Slowly and gradually those fossil energies would reach their ends, because they are quite limited. When that time comes, it could mean a major catastrophe for our planet Earth. Efforts are being made to replace existing hazardous fuels with new renewable energy.

Renewable energy has plenty of benefits to both our planet and us as people.

Firstly, this will help the Earth to regain back its lost power and there will be more greenery, more healthy living areas and finally pollution could be eliminated for good.

Secondly, renewable energy is infinite. Samuel Bodman once stated in a speech which he made in July 14, 2005 that “As the technology for solar cells gets better and better, this form of clean, renewable energy will find more applications that take up less space and produce more electricity, to meet the energy needs of our homes, schools and businesses” meaning that for generations and generations to come, renewable energy will be able to provide us a safe, clean and healthy environment for all people to live in.

Next, millions of people will be give...

... the sun’s radiant light and heat and converting these naturally occurring elements into electrical, thermal, and chemical outputs for practical use. This type of green engineering is called “Solar Energy Engineering” which involves state-of-the-art work on a wide variety of solar power systems, including photovoltaic panels, solar collectors, hybrid solar lighting equipment, and fuel cells. These efforts aim to reduce the consumption of energy derived from traditional fossil fuels.
