Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power
are gaining momentum as alternatives to fossil fuels. Solar power harnesses energy
from the sun using photovoltaic cells, while wind power utilizes turbines to convert wind
energy into electricity. Hydroelectric power relies on flowing water to generate electricity,
and geothermal power utilizes heat from the Earth's core. These renewable energy
sources offer environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional energy sources,
reducing carbon emissions and mitigating climate change.
