Any
energy source that is continuously replenished
by the processes of nature is considered to
be renewable. The renewable energy types that
you're probably most familiar with include hydroelectric,
solar, wind, methane from landfills and geothermal.
Generating electricity from sources such as
these is generally considered to be cleaner
and better for the environment.
How do we convert renewable energy
into electricity?
In each case the process is relatively simple,
although the cost and practicality of widespread
use varies considerably.
