WHAT IS RENEWABLE ENERGY?

With so much in the news of late about renewable energy the changing climate and our part in making that happen, many people are looking for ways to change that pattern. We are looking for renewable energy sources that we can implement today.

You've heard the term, but what exactly do they mean when they talk about sustainable sources of energy? Well, in a nutshell, it means an energy source that won't run out, ever.

We've heard that the supply of oil that we use for most of our energy needs is dwindling. We need to find a cleaner alternative that will last forever.

Two of the most common, and promising, are solar power and wind power.

Solar power is generated by using panels that will absorb the sunlight and convert it into electricity to produce renewable energy.
