Renewable energy, usable energy derived from replenishable sources such as the sun (solar energy), wind (wind power), rivers (hydroelectric power), hot springs (geothermal energy), tides (tidal power), and biomass (biofuels) Renewable energy sources, such as sunlight, water, wind, the heat from the earthβs core, and biomass are natural resources that can be converted into several types of clean, usable energy. Several forms have become price competitive with energy derived from fossil fuels.

The benefits of increasing our renewable power supply include
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, helping to eliminate the need for traditional fossil fuel power resources, improving air quality, providing a sustainable energy resource, and reducing dependence on foreign sources of fuel.
Renewable resources include biomass energy (such as ethanol), hydropower, geothermal power, wind energy, and solar energy Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. Common sources of renewable energy include solar, geothermal and wind power, which are all categorized as renewable resources Fresh water is an example of a renewable resource.
The energy commission plays a pivotal role by developing and mandating programs that use renewable energy, incentives for energy technology installation, renewable energy grants, and by ensuring the efforts benefit all californians. A renewable resource is a substance of economic value that is replenished naturally over time, thereby supporting sustainability despite being consumed repeatedly. Results show that meeting la's goal of reliable, 100% renewable electricity by 2045βor even 2035βis achievable and will entail rapid deployment of wind, solar, and storage technologies this decade.
