27th Topic: Renewable Energy

Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly replenished.

Types of Renewable Energy

Solar Energy: Energy from the Sun, converted into electricity using solar panels.

Wind Energy: Uses large turbines to convert the power of the wind into electricity.

Hydropower: Generated by the force of moving water, which turns turbines to produce electricity.

Geothermal Energy: Uses heat from deep inside the Earth for electricity and heating.

Biomass Energy: Comes from organic materials like plants and wood, which can be burned to produce heat or electricity.

Advantages of Renewable Energy

Eco-friendly: It does not pollute the environment with harmful gases.

Sustainable: The sources (sun, wind, water) will never run out.

Economic Benefits: It creates jobs and reduces dependence on foreign energy sources.

Disadvantages of Renewable Energy

High Initial Cost: The setup and installation can be very expensive.

Weather Dependent: Its effectiveness depends on the weather (e.g., no sun, no solar power).

Land Requirement: Large-scale projects need a lot of space.
