Renewable Energy is energy created from resources that are regenerative - or renewable - meaning they cannot be depleted. These resources are safe for our environment and produce energy without the harmful pollutants and emissions associated with fossil-fuels.

Renewable energy utilizes natural cycles and systems such as sunlight, wind, tides, and geothermal heat to create energy in a form ready for human consumption. These sources differ from fossil fuels in that they can be replenished, and their use produces little, if any, greenhouse gases.

Now, as we know, that gloomy scenario hasn’t materialized. However, many who have followed this situation closely for decades believed that they would have witnessed the transition to renewable energy resources - away from the dependence on fossil fuels - by now.
