Inc. There are many forms of renewable energy . Most of these renewable energies depend in one way or another on sunlight.
Solar energy is the direct conversion of sunlight using panels or collectors.
Biomass energy is stored sunlight contained in plants. Other renewable energies that do not depend on sunlight are geothermal energy, which is a result of radioactive decay in the crust combined with the original heat of accreting the Earth, and tidal energy, which is a conversion of gravitational energy. Unfortunately, none of these energy forms is the answer to the upcoming energy crisis. This form of energy relies on the nuclear fusion power from the core of the Sun. This energy can be collected and converted in a few different ways.
