Green Renewable Energy
The process of generating electricity from fossil fuels involves the burning of the fuel. During this process gasses are released into the air and solid waste is a by-product.

This is causing massive damage to our environment. Over recent years people have become more interested in green renewable energy.
As a result of this increased environmental consciousness more and more people have started to recycle waste and use less plastic bags (plastic bags do not decompose).
As sources of fossil fuels are depleting quickly we are forced to find alternative sources of energy.
Green renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, marine energy and geothermal energy is currently being viewed as the best option as their usage does not have the same disastrous effects on our environment as fossil fuels or nuclear power.
Green renewable energy sources are self-replenishing sources which means they are not going to run out soon. The sun will hopefully continue shining and the wind blowing.
Solar power and wind power are currently the most developed green renewable energy technologies. One reason might be there global applicability.
The technologies in the areas of marine energy and geothermal energy are currently less developed as the usage of these energy sources depends more strongly on location.
In the long run the goal of our society should be to use green renewable energy to satisfy all our energy needs without relying on the consumption of fossil fuels.
The most popular form of green renewable energy is definitely solar energy. Solar power has already been used for many years to power our calculators and keep our homes warm. Today, many more solar technologies have been developed and we can now use solar power to provide hot water.
This technology named solar collector or solar panel was first patented by Horace de Saussine.
Nowadays, many houses especially throughout California have a solar collector on their roof to keep the temperature in their swimming pool nice and warm.
In many countries worldwide green renewable energy systems are being used to heat up water, particularly for showering and washing. In Japan and Israel, for example, many households already use small solar collectors to provide hot water.
In the United States this type of solar technology is not yet being used to its full potential. However, scientists see solar energy as the only way forward in the future.
Another very popular form of green renewable energy is wind energy. Over 20,000 wind turbines are already in use today, generating electricity and an even larger number that is used for pumping water.
In those areas in the world where wind is blowing strongly and frequently wind energy could even become the primary source of electricity.
One of the big benefits of wind power is that it does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions.
The wind power industry is currently the fastest growing type of electricity generation and the United States are leaders in the wind power market with Europe following right behind.
