Renewable energy Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources. We can get or make more of these resources in our lifetime.

Alternative Energy Resources- A substitute for energy resources

Wind Energy Energy that comes from the movement of air

Solar Energy Energy that comes from the Sun

Biofuel Fuels from plant material

Geothermal Energy that comes from heat deep under the ground

Hydroelectricity Energy that comes from moving water
