What is green energy?

Green energy is a term used to describe sources of energy that are considered to be environmentally friendly and non-polluting, such as geothermal, wind, solar, and hydroelectric power. These sources of energy are considered to be green because they do not produce greenhouse gases or other pollutants that contribute to climate change.

Distributed generation is a term used to describe the process of generating electricity from many small energy sources closer to where the energy will be used. This is in contrast to the more traditional method of generating electricity in large, centralized power plants. Distributed generation can be powered by renewable energy sources, and it can be used to power homes, businesses, and even entire communities.

What are the benefits?

By using renewable energy to power your home and life, you reduce your impact on the environment and lessen your carbon footprint.

Our modern technology's reliance on fossil fuels has led to a significant increase in greenhouse gases, which are the primary cause of global warming. By using green energy, you can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere.

Green energy is also a great way to reduce your energy bills. Once you have the infrastructure in place, you can generate your own energy and sell any excess back to the grid.

How can you start small?

There are many ways to start using green energy in your home or business. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Install solar panels on your roof to generate electricity.
• Use a solar water heater to heat your home's water.
• Install a small wind turbine to generate electricity.
• Use energy-efficient appliances and lighting.
• Use a programmable thermostat to reduce your heating and cooling costs.
