Renewable Energy

- Renewable energy is sustainable energy that will not run out because it can be regenerated.

- Some renewable resources are self-generating if left to nature, e.g. trees. Some are continuous and can be used over and over again, e.g. wind.

-  Renewable energy sources include wind, HEP, wave, tidal, solar and geothermal.

- The exploitation of renewable sources is determined by suitable location factors. For example, wind turbines need to be in areas where there are regularly high wind speeds.

-  All renewable energy sources have advantages and disadvantages.
