Renewable energy is defined as energy produced from natural sources that are replenished at a faster rate than it is consumed. Sunlight and wind are two examples of such constantly
replenishing sources. Renewable energy sources are plentiful and all around us. Fossil fuels - coal, oil, and gas - on the other hand, are non-renewable resources that take hundreds of millions of years
to form. Fossil fuels, when burned to produce energy, cause harmful greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide. Renewable energy produces much fewer emissions than burning fossil fuels.
Transitioning from fossil fuels, which now account for the majority of emissions, to renewable energy is key to addressing the climate crisis. Renewables are now cheaper in most countries and
generate three times more jobs than fossil fuels.
