Renewable Energy Sources – A Review

The development of technology combined with the surge in population has led to a new era of living that has increased energy demand. Fossil fuel has been the main energy source for so many years, but it is no longer sustainable with its depletion and negative consequences. A need has arisen for a replacement resource to replace the depleting fossil fuels using right now. This need is what pushes us towards renewable energy. An examination of renewable energy sources: their uses, potentials, and limitations, as well as their effects on the climate and human health, is presented in this work. As final recommendations, the paper outlines policies and strategies to address climate change and fully integrate renewables as a sustainable energy source.
