Renewable energy is energy that comes from sources that are naturally replenishing and virtually inexhaustible in duration, but limited in the amount of energy that is available per unit of time. Renewable energy is also called "clean energy" or "green power" because it doesnt pollute the air or the water. Here are some key points about renewable energy for kids:

• Renewable energy sources are all around us, such as the sun, wind, water, and even the heat of the Earth.
• The major types of renewable energy sources are biomass, hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar.
• Renewable energy can play an important role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and stopping global warming.
• Unlike natural gas and coal, we cant store up wind and sunshine to use when we need to make more electricity. If the wind doesnt blow or the sun hides behind clouds, there sometimes isn’t enough power for everyone.
• Fossil fuels, like coal and natural gas, are cheaper than renewable energy sources, which is why they are still widely used.
• Renewable energy is an essential source of energy for the future and one of the world’s most important allies in the race to stop global warming and reach net-zero emissions.

Overall, renewable energy is a clean and sustainable source of energy that can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and protect the environment for future generations.
