What is renewable energy?
Renewable energy is a term used to describe energy that is derived from resources like the sun and the wind – resources that are continually available to some degree all over the world. We never run out of them. Their use or capture does not inflict any material damage on the environment.
Sunlight is the source of most renewable energy power, either directly or indirectly. The sun can be harnessed to produce solar energy – electricity for heating, cooling, and lighting homes, offices, entertainment complexes, airports, and a variety of other industrial structures.
Heat from the sun also produces wind, and that energy is captured by turbines and turned into electricity capable of powering entire towns.
Geothermal energy taps the Earth's internal heat for a variety of uses, including electric power production and the heating and cooling of buildings. For more information about how CAN DO Energy Solutions is tapping into all three of these areas of renewable energy, we invite you to visit the pages in this section or click on the links above.
