In this lecture, we will explore the fascinating topic of renewable energy. Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly replenished. Examples include solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric power. Unlike fossil fuels, renewable energy sources do not deplete over time and have a much lower environmental impact. We will examine why renewable energy is important and discuss how it can help reduce our carbon footprint.
