Renewable Energy: A Win-Win Relationship
Fossil fuels, while prevalent in our daily lives, are limited and cause pollution. So,
scientists are working hard on sustainable and eco-friendly energy alternatives. Solar
energy is familiar to us as we use it daily for drying things. Solar panels catch sunlight
and convert it into electricity. It's renewable because the sun never stops producing
sunlight. Wind power, another old energy source, was once used by explorers to sail
their ships to far-off lands. Today, a single windmill can pump water and generate
electricity. People installed numerous giant wind turbines on wind farms to increase
the power output. Fossil fuel use will decrease, making our planet greener. With such
a transition, we have nothing to lose and much to gain.
