4. THE USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable sources are inexhaustible
energy sources that pollute little or not at
all. These energies can be derived
from water (hydropower), from the
ground (geothermal), wind (wind)
and sun (solar). These energies should
eventually replace those non-renewable
sources, such as oil, gasoline and coal.
