Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables‚ with 10% coming from traditional biomass‚ which is mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewables

Why renewable power sources are better than nuclear power? Nuclear power is the most productive power source. However‚ there are several ongoing debates around the efficiency and the usage of nuclear power. Several factors such as the catastrophes in Chernobyl and Fukushima and the depleting of coal and gas reserves have led to the idea behind the renewable power sources. The renewable power sources are the future of the energy production in the world. Renewable energy is the energy that
