Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources-such as sunlight, wind, rain, biomass and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. The case for biomass power is that it derives from a renewable resource: trees. The power plants can produce electricity around the clock, unlike wind turbines and solar panels, which work only when the weather is right. They also create jobs.
