Green power is simply another name for renewable energy.
Unlike fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas, green power comes from sources that are naturally renewable. Energy sources for green power include solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and hydropower. In addition to the many environmental benefits, green power also has major economic advantages as well, creating thousands of jobs and revitalizing rural economies. Hydropower is currently the most commonly used green power resource, providing enough power to meet the needs of 28.3 million consumers. A hydro plant uses the force of flowing or falling water to run generators.
