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.
