       and regions have approached the deployment of renewable energy technologies.

This webpage covers energy produced from sources that are replenishable on a human time scale. While the terms renewable, sustainable, clean, and alternative do not carry precise definitions and are widely used synonymously, one key characteristic applies to all: they are not derived from fossil fuels.
