Renewable Energy

Have you ever felt a secret power all around you? It is the warm sunshine that tickles your nose and helps flowers grow big and bright. It is the big push from the wind that makes your kite dance in the sky. This story is about a special, happy power called Renewable Energy. It is a friend to the whole world, a power that never, ever runs out. It loves to play and help everyone, every single day, in so many wonderful ways.

Long, long ago, people saw this secret power and wanted to play too. They saw the wind push fluffy clouds, so they made big sails for their boats. Whoosh! The wind pushed the boats across the big, blue water. They saw the wind spin leaves in a circle, so they built tall windmills with arms that spun round and round to help them make yummy bread. People also watched sticks and leaves float down the river. They saw the water push them along, so they built big water wheels. Splash! The water turned the wheels and helped them do their work. Now, people have learned new ways to play. They use shiny, flat panels to catch the bright sunshine, turning it into power for our lights and toys.

This special friend, Renewable Energy, helps us keep our planet happy and healthy. When we use the power from the sun, the wind, and the water, it does not make the air feel yucky or dirty. It is a clean power. It is a happy power. Using this power is like giving the Earth a big, warm hug. Renewable Energy is here to help us make sure our world stays beautiful and bright for a long, long time, so everyone can play and be happy.
