Renewable Energy
Energy is the thing that gives something power. For example, we need to eat to have energy. Food is our fuel. If we don't consume food, then we have no energy. Everything needs some source of energy to be able to operate. There are a lots of natural sources of energy and they fall into two categories; renewable and non-renewable.
Nonrenewable energy resources, like coal and nuclear are available in limited supplies. Renewable resources are replenished (= restored, filled up again) naturally and over relatively short periods of time.
