Sometimes ago I used to wander what actually "renewable energy" really means? Are they actually contributing to greener future? The straight answer is – these renewable energy sources are literally found in sunlight, in the air, deep underground and in our oceans. They are part of the planet’s physical structure, which means they are constantly being renewed by natural means. They simply cannot run out.

The renewable energy sources are sustainable energy sources and often phrased as " alternative energy " since they are best alternative to traditional fossil fuels such as oil and coal. Just because an energy source is renewable doesn’t mean its 100 percent environmentally safe. For instance, dams harness the power of moving water, but they can also harm fish and wildlife. Wind turbines use the sun’s energy to generate clean electricity, but there are environmental impacts from the manufacturing process.

All told, though, alternative energy resources pack a much lighter environmental footprint than fossil fuels. Environmental footprint in this regard means impact to our environment on construction and operation of these project. This makes renewable energy sources so important – they are our ticket to a less polluted world. Even if we did not face the threat of climate change, minimizing pollution is basic for good health.

Economic aspect is also considerable, the building cost of hydroelectricity project is much lower than that of nuclear plant and comparable to coal plant. The operation cost is lesser than both. And what’s good for the environment is increasingly good economically for homeowners and businesses.

Completing the report, I want to leave a note that if we want a clearer and greener future these are the best alternatives to conventional energy sources.

Green cheers 😊 😊

Go Green !!
