Overview

All energy sources (fossil fuels as well as renewable energies) have some effect on our environment. Even though renewables are considered environmentally preferable to conventional sources (and, when replacing fossil fuels, have significant potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions) it is still important to understand the impacts linked to the prodution of power from renewable sources.

The type and intensity of environmental impacts always varies depending on the specific technology used, the geographic location, and a number of other factors.
