Renewable energy sources include energy from the sun, wind, water, and plant- and waste-based materials that reproduce themselves constantly. Non-renewable sources like coal and oil are being used faster than they can replenish and will eventually run out. While non-renewables like oil currently supply over 40% of the US's energy, renewable alternatives like hydropower, bioenergy, wind, solar and geothermal are growing in popularity and importance as cleaner, sustainable options.
