Whereas fossil fuels are exhaustible, renewable energy sources - water (hydropower), biomass, wind, heat from the earth (geothermal), and the sun (solar energy) - regenerate and can be sustained indefinitely. "Green" renewables contribute much less to global warming and climate change by offsetting fossil fuels used to generate electricity.
