The sun is part of almost all renewable energy sources, directly or indirectly. The sun's energy can be used directly through solar panels and use the sun indirectly when using hydroelectric power plants to create energy. Considering the fact that renewable energy is always available and can be used multiple times, it is a better energy resource than non-renewable energy. it also doesn't have the same impact on the environment. “Fossil fuels – coal, oil and natural gas – do substantially more damage than renewable energy sources,” is a statement from the ucsusa.org page (ucsusa.org). this means that the use of renewable energy sources preserves the environment from greater damage and eliminates the possibility of remaining without energy
