Solar energy is a renewable resource because it is derived from the sun, which is a constantly replenished source of energy.

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are non-renewable resources because they are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals and take millions of years to replenish.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity through a process called the photovoltaic effect.

Hydroelectric power is generated by harnessing the energy of flowing water, typically through the use of dams and turbines.

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals that have been buried and subjected to high pressure and temperature over millions of years.

Geothermal energy is generated by harnessing the heat from the Earth's core, which is a virtually inexhaustible source of energy.

Wind energy is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of moving air, typically through the use of wind turbines.

Biomass energy is generated by burning organic matter, such as wood, plants, and animal waste, to produce heat or electricity.

Fossil fuels produce greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, when they are burned, contributing to climate change.

Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, do not produce greenhouse gases or other pollutants when they are generated.

Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, require specialized infrastructure, such as solar panels and wind turbines, to generate electricity.

Fossil fuels contribute to climate change by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere when they are burned.

Renewable energy projects, such as wind farms and solar farms, can disrupt wildlife habitats and affect biodiversity.

Renewable energy sources can create jobs, reduce energy costs, and increase energy independence.

Renewable energy sources can be more expensive than fossil fuels, require government subsidies, and may not be as reliable.
