What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy comes from sources that don't run out. It's like having a never-ending battery for Earth. The sun, wind, and water can all make renewable energy. We can use sunlight to make electricity with solar panels. Wind turbines spin in the breeze to create power. Water flowing in rivers can also generate electricity. Unlike oil or coal, these sources renew themselves naturally. Renewable energy is cleaner and better for our planet.
