renewable-sources

Vocabulary Word

Definition

When we say 'renewable sources,' we mean those sources of energy that won't run out because they can replenish or renew themselves. They're natural and include things like sunlight, wind, and rain (hydro power).

Examples in Different Contexts

Urban planning increasingly incorporates renewable sources for powering public infrastructure and buildings. An urban planner might state, 'By integrating renewable sources like solar panels and wind turbines into our city designs, we can create more sustainable and energy-efficient urban environments.'
