What is renewable energy? | Decomplicated?

Renewable energy is power that comes from things in nature that never run out.

Imagine you have a toy car that runs on batteries. If those batteries die, the car stops. But if your toy car could use something like sunlight or wind instead of batteries, and that something never ran out, it would keep going forever!

That’s what renewable energy is like: it uses things like sun, wind, water, or plants to make power, and those things are always there.

Think about a windmill in the park. When the wind blows, the blades spin, and that motion makes electricity. The wind keeps blowing every day, so the windmill keeps making energy without ever needing to stop.

Or picture a solar panel on your roof. When sunlight hits it, it turns that light into power. Even when you're sleeping, the sun is still shining somewhere, so there's always more energy waiting to be used!

These are just a few examples of renewable energy, and they help keep our world powered up without using things like coal or oil, which can run out.
