the big benefits of using
renewable sources for our energy
supply:
They'll never run out. That's right -
these natural energy sources can
replace themselves, making them
sustainable and abundant natural
resources.
They don't damage our
planet. These clean energy
sources are non-pollutant,
produce minimal or no waste
products, and don't contribute to
global warming - great news for
the environment!
They're low-maintenance energy
sources. Renewable energy
facilities tend to require less
maintenance than traditional
generators. And as they come
from natural, abundant resources,
the operating costs are generally
lower too.
They're good news for regional
areas. As most renewable energy
projects are located in regional
areas - away from the big cities -
they can bring economic benefits
to these places. For example, this
could come from more people
using local services.
