Renewable energies are those obtained from natural sources that produce energy inexhaustible and indefinitely. For example, solar energy, wind energy, or tidal energy are renewable sources of energy. They are also considered renewable when obtained from sources that regenerate over time naturally, such as forest mass.
One of the main advantages of renewable energy is that, in addition to being inexhaustible, they have a zero or low negative impact on the environment, so they are considered clean energy. Today renewable energy is a reality present in our society and its benefits to the environment are more than obvious.
All societies on the planet are consumers of energy to a greater or lesser extent, but the reality is that most of the energy consumed comes from non-renewable sources, such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy, whose negative impact on the environment is greater. One noteworthy aspect of renewable energy is that they can be applied and exploited at the local level, which helps to reduce the dependence of populations on large energy producers, promoting economic development and employment.
