Is the energy collected from natural resources, which renewable naturally without human intervention, and therefore not implemented. Renewable energy is very different from theother kinds of energy like fossil fuels from petroleum, coal, natural gas, or nuclear fuel used in nuclear reactor. Renewable energy does not usually produce residues of carbon dioxide (CO_2) or harmful gases or increase global warming, such as when fossil fuels or harmful atomic residues from nuclear reactors are burned[1].
1.1.1Advantages of Renewable Energy One major advantage with the use of renewable energy is that as it is renewable it is therefore sustainable and so will never run out. Renewable energy facilities generally require less maintenance than traditional generators. Their fuel being derived from natural and available resources reduces the costs of operation. Even more importantly, renewable energy produces little or no waste products such as carbon dioxide or other chemical pollutants, so has minimal impact on the environment. Renewable energy projects can also bring economic benefits to many regional areas, as most projects are located away from large urban centers and suburbs of the capital cities. These economic benefits may be from the increased use of local services as well as tourism.

1.1.2 Disadvantages ofRenewable Energy It is difficult to generate the quantities of electricity that are as large as those produced by traditional fossil fuel generators. This may mean that we
