Summary
Renewable energy is energy derived from natural processes that do not involve the consumption of exhaustible resources such as fossil fuels and uranium. It produces few or no hazardous emissions or pollutants, and has minimal impact on fragile ecosystems.
The main types of renewable energy are hydroelectricity, biomass (organic matter), geothermal, solar, wind and biofuels. The most used form of renewable energy is traditional biomass like burning wood. The market is growing for many forms of renewable energy with conservation of water and energy the main reasons for using these technologies. Alternative fuels, such as ethanol, can be developed to power hybrid vehicles in order to decrease depende...

The most used form of renewable energy is traditional biomass like burning wood. The market is growing for many forms of renewable energy with conservation of water and energy the main reasons for using these technologies. Alternative fuels, such as ethanol, can be developed to power hybrid vehicles in order to decrease dependence on oil. Compact fluorescent light bulbs can be used in place of traditional light bulbs and the light output will be the same, but the wattage is less.
The market for renewable energy is likely to increase sharply when its cost equals current energy sources and its benefits, such as energy efficiency, are realized on a global scale.
