Alright, well let's start with the basic. Renewable energy is basically made from resources that Mother Nature will replace, like wind, water and sunshine. Renewable energy is also called "clean energy" or "green power" because it doesn't pollute the air or the water. Now let's get to the point. Using Different Forms of Renewable Energy Advantages- One major advantage with the use of renewable energy that I think has a big impact on our world is that as it is renewable it is therefore sustainable and so will never run out. Disadvantages- One disadvantage of renewable energy sources that I think has a big impact on our world is the reliability of supply. Renewable energy often relies on the weather for its source of power. Example: Hydro generators need rain to fill dams to supply flowing water Wind turbines need wind to turn the blades Solar collectors need clear skies and sunshine to collect heat and make electricity Now when these resources are unavailable to us because of the weather, so is the capacity to make energy from them. This can be unpredictable and inconsistent.
