Renewable energy

What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is produced using natural resources that constantly replaced and never run out.
Types of renewable energy
Sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat are all the examples of renewable energy.
Benefits of renewable energy.
One of the benefits of renewable energy is that it is naturally occurring so does not harm the environment and also that it doesn’t run out. Another benefit is that it is generally it is cheaper to produce renewable energy because created by the environment.
Renewable energy has a great impact in public health because unlike fossil fuels like coal it does not pollute the environment and cause illness in people. It is called clean energy. Wind, solar

Renewable energy also relies on weather conditions such as sunlight, rain, wind and waves which is beyond our control.
Renewable energy is a source of energy that does not consume the finite resources of the earth and can be easily and quickly replinished. Science Competition 2017

Introduction:
One of the disadvantages of renewable energy is that you are unable to control the weather. For example, if you are using a solar source of renewable energy, you rely on the sun being out.
My science project is designed to provide a more efficient way of capturing and storing renewable energy by using to natural energy sources, wind and solar.
My design is a windmill with a solar panel and battery storage.
Hypothesis:
When the wind is blowing, the windmill will be moving and creating renewable energy. If the wind stops and then sun is out, the windmill will continue to produce renewable energy by using the solar panel and motor that will spin the windmill.

Renewables are better environmentally than any other power source under specific circumstances. The two most touted renewable energy sources are wind power and solar power. The specific circumstances in which they are better are when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. Unfortunately, neither the wind nor the sun can be guaranteed to function for any specific date or time. The sun can only be guaranteed not to shine for approximately twelve hours a day and wind has no guarantees at all. Also, technology is not advanced enough to adequately harness the power provided by the sun and wind when they are available. It would take five hundred times the amount of land to build a solar plant with the same output as a nuclear plant (Oliver Hospers 24-25).
Renewable energy is energy from a source that is not depleted when it is used.
Unlike coal powered electric plants that produce abundant supply of power, renewable sources can’t produce that much of energy in short span of time. The technology that is used in producing energy is new and major other factors like weather play spoilsport that hamper the production of energy on large scale. This simply means that either we have to reduce our energy consumption or set up new facilities that could produce energy at a faster rate.
Renewable energies have satisfactory EROEIs and they aren’t subject to depletion unlike non-renewable and nuclear energy sources. However renewable energy sources are far from producing enough energy to fulfil the world’s needs.
Green energy is just another term to describe any sort alternative energy that is produced with less negative impact on the environment. Renewable energy is green energy generated from natural resources such as sunlight, wind,
Renewable energy has the power to solve climate change, nuclear proliferation, energy insecurity, and energy poverty.
“Renewable resources have a high development cost it costs lots of money to develop there stations in research and manufacturing the components needs so that they become successful.” Which is stated in the article of pros and cons of renewable resources. Renewable resources also do not produce in large quantities, so if we were to use renewable resources for energy we would have to reduce our energy consumption. Renewable resources are also vulnerable, almost all of the renewable resources are vulnerable to weather such as rain, snow, and cloudy days.
Renewable Energy is defined as: a renewable natural resource or source of energy, such as water, wind, or solar power (Oxford English Dictionary). There are those that believe that our nation should abandon the use of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal, and switch to renewable energy sources. Although the change could yield many benefits, I believe that renewable energy is a not viable alternative for our nation’s energy future because it would create an unfavorable environmental impact, it is not as reliable, and it would be too costly.
The other benefit of renewable energy is that these energies have been found to be non-polluting and therefore halt global warming. This is very good news for us as a species because according to many simulations of the future,
Wind energy is a renewable energy resource that is natural occurring with unlimited supply. The energy generated from wind is clean with little impact on wildlife and the environment. Technology such as wind turbines are used to capture the energy from wind. Compared to Solar energy, another renewable resource that uses the suns heat as energy, wind energy is less efficient. The amount of power collected from solar panels exceeds what is collected from turbines. Although solar energy are more efficient, it comes at a cost. Solar technologies are more expensive than wind turbines and
Renewable energy may seem like a daunting task, but the benefits to humanity could be incredible. Public uses of renewable energy range from transportation all the way to heating and cooling. Everything we use could become less explosive and less expensive. Cities with a high concentration of people could become safer and healthier places to live. Transportation could be converted to electricity dramatically, improving smog conditions. Global warming may or may not
Soon, planet Earth will run out of the resource that once was thought to be reliable. Earth is in great danger of self destructing if there is no backup plan. This is where renewable resources come in. Renewable resources are abundant and do not damage the environment, so they are a sustainable method to produce energy. The options for renewable energy are solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal.
Renewable energy is defined as using resources that are easily replenished such as water, the sun, or wind, as forms of energy. So why should citizens of the Earth use renewable energy? Many people use renewable energy because of the environmental benefits and the economic benefits or in order to preserve the nonrenewable resources. Using renewable energy sources provides many different benefits for society and for the environment, but they also have drawbacks that makes the use of renewable energy a controversial topic.
When the new Southeast Polk High School opened they added many new energy saving products. This included installing geothermal heating under the high school cutting back on the cost of heating such a large building. Many new windows help save on energy used to light the building along with automatic lights that turn off after several minutes without movement. The new high school shows how easy it is to save money and help the environment. Renewable energy is good for all aspects of the U.S, providing jobs, economical growth, environmental cleanliness, and new research for improving energy efficiency. Therefore the United States should use renewable energy to benefit the economy and environment.
