Renewable energy

Renewable energy is an energy source that regenerates quick enough to be considered inexhaustible on a human scale.

Renewable energy is derived from regular natural phenomenon due to stars activities:, primarily sun radiation, but also moon gravity (ocean tide) as well as geothermy). Renewables not only depend on the pace at which the source regenerates, but also its pace of use. For example, wood is a renewable energy as far as less trees are cut than grow.

A renewable energy is characterised by itsnon-dependence on the depletion of its source (except for biomass such as wood) and generates far less greenhouse gases than fossil fuels. On the social front, local resources are exploited, fostering local development areas and local jobs creation. On the economic front, this type of energy is valuable carbon wise and the waste it creates is easily treatable. Moreover, renewable energy increases energy independence.

Today we often confuse renewable energy with clean energy. In the strict sense of the word, there’s a major difference: clean energy is a source of energy whose operation produces only unsignificant amounts of pollutants compared to other sources more widely used and considered more polluting, such as wind energy, biomass, solar, or hydroelectric ...

Therefore, renewable energy is not necessarily own, and vice versa. Clean and renewable energies are often presented as part of the solution to climate change.
This would become realistic once the amount of renewables developed manage to take over our current consumption of fossil fuels. to develop enough renewable energy to reduce the absolute consumption of fossil fuels. But renewable energy is limited by its performance, storage capacity , possible area or infrastructure to implement it.
