Best Practice Guide GlossaryBrowse the glossary alphabetically: RENEWABLE ENERGY Return to list of termsResources that constantly renew themselves or that are regarded as practically inexhaustible. These include solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and wood. Although particular geothermal formations can be depleted, the natural heat in the earth is a virtually inexhaustible reserve of potential energy. Renewable resources also include some experimental or less-developed sources such as tidal power, sea currents and ocean thermal gradients. Source: California Energy Commission |
