Sources of Renewable Energy
Currently, oil and fossil fuel are the primary source of our energy needs. Although generation / exploration of these energy sources are generally easy and most profitable, it is not renewable and will deplete in the long run. That is aside from the environmental damage that it creates from its exploration to its final use.
Fortunately we now have an emerging alternative. An alternative that is friendly to the environment and clean. Not only that, it is renewable. As of now scientists are on their way to discover cheaper generation cost and efficiency to this technology. But definitely, this is the energy of the future. But what are the sources of renewable energy? Let us look at some:
The sun not only gives us light at daytime but it is a major renewable energy source. In fact even in the old times they already harness the power of the sun for hot water and power for some appliances with solar panel. Aside from the sun we also generate renewable energy from the wind. Turbines converts to electricity the force that the wind turbines collect from the wind.
Biomass is also one of the sources seriously developed by the scientists. This normally comes from living organisms. Now a lot of discoveries are directed from this method. Among those closely studied by scientists is Hydrogen because it is the element most abundant in our planet. The only problem is how to breakdown the hydrogen particle from other elements. For example, water (H2O)
When waterfalls are sourced for energy, normally it is through Hydropower which uses water turbines for the utilization of the kinetic energy that the water brings from the top of the waterfalls.
The advancement of technology allows us to discover a lot of things and utilize the available resources for our renewable energy. Come to think of it, most our energy sources are available in our day to day lives. This is a high time for us to switch to renewable energy. So what are you waiting for? Use renewable; energy , save the environment towards becoming a renewable energy world.
