Renewables

Renewable energy resources such as biomass, wind, and solar offer many advantages for society, chiefly that they are among the cleanest sources of energy available and probably more importantly that they have an infinite life versus the fossil fuels of coal and petroleum.

Implementation of renewable energy resources, whether on a small scale such as solar energy to heat our homes or wind turbines to generate electricity for cities and towns, can help provide cleaner air, a more secure energy resource base, and a sustainable future for everyone.
