What is Renewable resource?
A '''renewable resource''' is a resource which can be used repeatedly and replaced naturally. [[Renewable energy]] almost never runs out, for example: solar energy is powered by heat from the sun and never runs out. Other examples include [[oxygen]], [[geothermal power]], [[fresh water]], [[solar energy]] and [[biomass]]. [[Gasoline]], [[coal]], [[natural gas]], [[diesel]], [[plastics]] and other [[fossil fuel]]s are not [[Renewable energy|renewable]]. They take millions of years to be made, and cannot be renewed in a human’s, or even a nation's lifetime. Ways have been developed to make [[biodegradable]] plastic and [[biodiesel|bio diesel]] and other fuels from renewable resources such as [[corn]], [[sugar cane]], [[soybean]]s and [[canola]]. [[File:Daneshill Energy Forest - geograph.org.uk - 308317.jpg|thumb|This is an example of a renewable resource.]] Renewable resource harvesting and use typically do not produce [[pollution]] or contribute to [[Greenhouse gas|global warming]]. The use of renewable resources and energy sources is increasing worldwide, with certain nations, such as [[Bhutan]], and US states, such as [[California]], beginning to rely entirely on renewable energy. From 2008 to 2012, the U.S. doubled renewable generation from wind, solar, and geothermal sources. America and Britain are now home to some of the [[List of large wind farms|largest wind and solar farms in the world.]]<ref name=USDOE_2012Wind>{{cite web|title=Record Year for Wind|url=http://energy.gov/articles/record-year-american-wind-industry|publisher=U.S. Dept. of Energy|accessdate=25 March 2013}}</ref> There are also things called human resource where human’s waste is turned into energy. There are many other resources such as water power. Renewable resources are basically the opposite of [[non-renewable resources]]. == Related pages == *[[Sustainable development]] == Other websites == * [http://www.southerngrease.com Alternative Fuels - Beginner's tutorial on using alternative fuels in a diesel engine] == References == <refer
