energy . Moreover , renewable energy sources can be recovered or produced without
causing CO2 emissions , air pollution and global warming . Renewable energy production
is certainly essential if we are to prevent further environmental problems . There are many
examples of renewable energy sources such as hydropower , wind power , solar energy ,
biomass energy and geothermal energy . Hydropower utilises the power of moving water
such as waterfalls and rivers and the sea . Electricity is generated when moving water turns
turbines . As long as flowing water continues , it gives us an inexhaustible amount of energy
. Hydropower dams are also a source of renewable energy . Power is generated when water
from the dam is released through turbines . Although hydropower plants hardly emit any
pollutants into the air , there are a few drawbacks . Water powered turbines can have a
negative effect on aquatic wildlife . Also , building hydropower dams causes land behind
