fastest growing?
With what name is renewable energy also
known as?

source.
Renewable energy a.k.a "green" energy.
Thank you for listening!
We use energy every day. It surrounds us in different forms, such as light, heat, and electricity. Our bodies
use the energy stored in molecules of substances like carbohydrates and protein to move, breathe, grow,
and think. We also use energy to do work and to play. Humans have invented thousands of machines and
appliances that use energy to make our work easier, to heat our homes, and to get ourselves from place to
place. Some of these machines use electricity, while others, like automobiles, use the energy stored in
substances such as gasoline.
Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and
geothermal heat, which are renewable.
Renewable energy uses natural resources that can be replaced or "renewed" without harming the
environment and does not contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Non-renewable energy
Non-renewable energy comes from sources that can't be replenished in a short period of time. We get
most of our energy from nonrenewable energy sources, which include fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas,
coal and from nuclear energy. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases like carbon
dioxide and methane which may cause global warming.
Wind energy is the world's fastest growing energy technology.
Most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun.
Hydroelectric energy is the oldest and largest source of renewable energy.
Renewable energy is also known as "green" energy because, unlike energy created from fossil fuels, it
will not run out.
