Key Points

  • Solar energy is a renewable energy source because the sun provides a natural and consistent source of power.
  • Renewable energy can replenish itself, unlike non-renewable power sources like oil.
  • Shifting to renewable and green power sources lowers the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and slows the effects of global warming.
