Using these sources of energy does not deplete the earth's resources, nor does it pollute the environment.
Renewable energy is the energy of the future.
Over the next four weeks we will be answering questions about renewable energy, how it works, why we need it and how we can all benefit from it. Whether we are lighting our houses, washing our clothes, refrigerating our food or running our computers, energy is an essential of modern life. We use it in most of the things we do. It creates comfort and convenience, helps keep us entertained and healthy. Without it our civilisation would collapse.
