Renewable Energy

We use energy to do all sorts of jobs for us. In particular, we often use electrical energy to make machines work. The sources of energy we use and the way we make electricity can have a big effect on the world around us. Some uses of energy can damage or pollute the environment, whilst some are much cleaner. On the other hand, some sources of energy are cheaper than others.
