	Feature Article: Renewable Resource Electricity in the Changing Regulatory Environment
		Since renewable energy production is environmentally benign relative to most fossil fuel energy technologies, some States have included these adders in their avoided-cost calculations to level the playing field between renewables and fossil fuels.
		Renewable technologies, with their relatively high capital costs and low operating and maintenance costs, may be cost-effective in the long run, but they are less attractive to an industry facing severe near-term competitive pressure.
		Renewable energy technologies are environmentally benign relative to conventional energy technologies, and they reduce the risks associated with fuel prices and availability by offering a more diverse fuel mix and by decreasing the Nation's dependence on foreign energy supplies.

	The Energy Story - Chapter 1: What Is Electricity?
		Renewable energy resource development will result in new jobs for people and less oil we have to buy from foreign countries.
		But there are also drawbacks to renewable energy development.
		Unlike fossil fuels, which dirties the atmosphere, renewable energy has less impact on the environment Renewable energy production has some drawbacks, mainly associated with the use of large of tracts of land that affects animal habitats and outdoor scenery.

	Renewable resource - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A renewable resource is any natural resource that is depleted at a rate slower than the rate at which it regenerates.
		Renewable resources include oxygen, fresh water, solar, timber and biomass.
		Renewable cock resources may also include commodities such as wood, paper and leather.

	Non-renewable resources - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is as opposed to natural resources such as timber, which re-grows naturally and can, in theory, be harvested sustainably at a constant rate without depleting the existing resource pool and resources such as metals, which, although they are not replenished, are not destroyed when used and can be recycled.
		Inappropriate use of renewable resources can lead to their destruction, as for example the cutting down of rainforests, with secondary effects, such as the decrease in oxygen and the increase in carbon dioxide and the resulting greenhouse effect.
		Demands for resources made by rich nations are causing concern that the present and future demands of industrial societies cannot be sustained for more than a century or two, and that this will be at the expense of the developing world and the global environment.

	EPA - GPP - Buy Green Power - Product Considerations
		While the electricity and attributes from renewable facilities that were in place prior to the advent of the green power market are still sold today in many green power products, it is the support of "new" renewable resources that provides the additional environmental benefits.
		In some cases, purchasing from older renewable resource facilities can provide support for a facility that might be shut down and prevent their displacement by non-renewable facilities.
		Location of the renewable resource – Knowing the location of the renewable resources used to generate a green power product is important to customers interested in supporting the development of renewable resources in their region.

	Renewable Natural Resources
		Renewable resources, on-the-other-hand, can be replaced in a relatively short period of time or used through conservation efforts without depleting the resource.
		We consider renewable natural resources to be: animals, insects, reptiles, plants, trees, water, grass, solar and wind energy.
		That 3% is renewable through the water cycle, but we still need to conserve our water use and be careful not to waste water or any of our natural resources.
