What is a renewable resource?

A renewable resource is something that is reliable, sustainable and reusable. A non-renewable resource would be something like fossil fuels. It is limited and not environmentally friendly. But a renewable resource is something that in theory will never run out. Like the wind, the sun or heat.

Wind Power

Wind power is power from wind. The are massive buildings with a big spinning turbine. They cost 1-2 cents per kilowatt hour produced and costs upwards of 1-5 million dollars to build.

Solar Power

Solar panels are energy that is powered by the sun. They can also power the temperature of water. They can cost between 100-1000 per panel and they can produce between 250-400 watts an hour!

Coal Power

Is a non-renewable source of energy. It burns coal to produce power. Coal power can cost about 8 cents a watt of power, but no extra costs!
