What is renewable energy or “green power”?
Renewable energy (often called “green power”) is energy that is produced in ways that are cleaner and less harmful to the environment. Green power comes from wind, solar, geothermal and low-impact hydro resources. These are natural forces that can be harvested without releasing pollutants into the air we breathe.
It is electricity generated from natural sources such as wind, sun, and methane gas released from decaying garbage in landfills. Because green power comes from sources that never run out, like the wind and the sun, renewable energy is limitless. Green power is also clean. Unlike electricity production from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas, it does not add pollution to the atmosphere.
