Green Energy & Its Impact On Environment

Green Energy or Renewable energy, comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, plants, algae and geothermal heat. These energy resources are renewable, meaning they're naturally replenished. In contrast, fossil fuels are a finite resource that take millions of years to develop and will continue to diminish with use. Green Energy or renewable energy have a smaller impact on environment than others energy sources such as fossil fuels etc. Examples of Green energy are Solar Power, Wind Power, Hydro Power, Geothermal Energy, Biomass and Biofuels etc. Now a day renewable energy has been more effective on creating jobs in USA rather than Oil and Fuel industries. Renewable energy plays an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. When renewable energy sources are used, the demand for fossil fuels is reduced. Unlike fossil fuels, non-biomass renewable sources of energy (hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar) do not directly emit Greenhouse Gases.
