"Renewable energy utilizes natural cycles and systems-such as sunlight, wind, tides, and geothermal heat-to harness natural energy.
In the following viewpoint, the Environmental Literacy Council (ELC) argues that renewable energy sources-wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, and biomass-can help fight climate change because they generally have fewer greenhouse gas emissions than fossil fuels.

The Environmental Literary Council is a nonprofit organization that provides educational tools and resources on environmental issues.
