• Wind energy is one of the oldest and most widely used renewable energy sources, even since the 7th century in China.
• Solar Panel was first created in 1954 by a United States scientist named Gerald Pearson.
• Hydroelectric energy is the most renewable energy source used in the world, with around 16% of the total world electricity production comes from this source.
• The use of renewable energy can reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and air pollution that are harmful to human health.
• Large wind turbines can produce enough energy to supply electricity for thousands of houses.
• The increasingly advanced battery technology has allowed the energy storage produced by renewable energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to be used when needed.
• Hydroelectric power plants can affect the flow of rivers and surrounding water life, so it is necessary to study environmental impacts before building it.
• Solar energy and wind do not require fuel or other additives, so as to reduce dependence on the supply of fossil energy that is increasingly thinning.
• Use of renewable energy can create new jobs in the energy -friendly energy sector.
• Renewable energy technology continues to grow and more affordable, so that in the future, renewable energy can be a cheaper and more sustainable alternative than fossil energy.
