Renewable energy resource 
One that is being or can be replenished as it's used
Renewable energy resources 
Wind power
Solar power
Hydroelectric power
Tidal power
Biofuels
Geothermal
Advantages of renewable energy resources
They'll never run out
They do not add any carbon dioxide to the atmosphere
Disadvantages of renewable energy resources
Wind power and solar power are not reliable
Habitats are destroyed when dams are built for hydroelectric power
Tidal power may be harmful to wildlife
Wave power is still small-scale and experimental
Geothermal energy is not used much in the UK
Most energy use in the UK is for transport which is not easily replaced by renewable electricity
Biofuels 
Produced from plant materials, carbon neutral as the growing plant took in carbon dioxide
Biofuels can be used to power vehicles such as cars and buses
Using land to grow crops for biofuel could push up the price of food
