Renewable Energy

#1:  Renewable  energy  is  a  form of  clean  energy  that  is  provided  by  natural  sources present  in  nature.

#2:  The  main  forms  of  renewable  energy  are:  solar,  wind,  hydro,  biofuel  and  geothermal (energy  derived  from  heat  generated  under  the  earth’s  surface)  and  these  sources  are  all continually  replenished!

 #3:  In  some  countries,  renewable  energy  is  cheaper  than  fossil  fuels.  Renewable  energy is  a  much  cheaper  alternative  in  some  countries  because  of  their  ability  to  harness sources  of  energy  that  are  prevalent  to  their  location.

#4:  Renewable  energy  creates  three  times  more  jobs  than  fossil  fuels.  According  to Clean  Technica,  “a  national  study  showed  that  job  creation  in  clean  energy  outdoes  fossil fuels  by  a  margin  of  3-to-1  —  every  dollar  put  into  clean  energy  creates  three  times  as many  jobs  as  putting  that  same  dollar  into  oil  and  gas.”

#5:  Renewable  energy  investments  are  cost  effective.  The  International  Renewable Energy  Agency  released  a  new  policy  brief  showing  that  renewable  energy  has  become the  most  cost-effective  way  to  generate  electricity  for  hundreds  of  millions  of  people worldwide  who  are  not  on  the  grid.  Read  more  here.
