What is renewable/green energy?
Energy that is produced from rapidly replenishable or infinite sources such as the sun, wind and water is considered renewable electricity. Electricity generated from renewable sources has a lower impact on public health and the environment than that produced from fossil fuel and nuclear resources for many reasons, including: 1) It emits no air emissions; 2) It does not produce harmful radioactive waste; 3) Its fuel sources do not need to be mined or extracted from the earth.
