WHAT IS A RENEWABLE RESOURCES?
A renewable resource is one that can be used repeatedly and does not run out because it is naturally replaced. Examples of renewable resources include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy.
ADVANTAGES
New and renewable energy can always be used without worrying about the supply running out.
Alternative energy sources are also known to be environmentally friendly because they do not produce waste that damage the environment or have far less pollution levels than fossil energy
New and renewable energy can be obtained for free. For example, sunlight, water that flows continuously and does not require a large amount of investment in order to process these renewable resources into energy that you can use every day.
DISADVANTAGES
1. Initial costs for setting up renewable energy plants are often quite high and require careful planning and implementation. Building dams, for example, for hydroelectric power requires high initial capital and high maintenance expenses.
2. Renewable energies like solar and wind require large tracts of land to produce energy quantities competitive with fossil fuel burning.
3. Renewable sources of energy are also affected by weather, reducing their reliability. For example, wind turbines only rotate it there is enough wind at a given speed and solar panels do not operate at night time and are less efficient on cloudy days.
