Green electricity in the United Kingdom

Hey there little buddy! I'm going to tell you all about green electricity in the United Kingdom!

So, you know how electricity powers all the cool things around us like our phones, TVs, and even cars? Well, some people want to make sure that the electricity we use doesn't harm the earth by creating pollution.

That's where green electricity comes in! Green electricity is created using natural sources like the sun, wind, and water. These sources are called renewable because they won't run out like coal or gas.

In the United Kingdom, there are special companies that make green electricity. They use things like wind turbines that spin in the wind to create electricity, or solar panels that soak up the sun's energy.

People can choose to use green electricity instead of regular electricity in their homes or businesses. It might cost a little bit more, but it's worth it to help protect the planet.

The UK government encourages the use of green electricity and has set targets for how much of the country's electricity should come from renewable sources. That means, they want to keep making more green electricity as time goes on!

So remember, green electricity is good for the planet and we can all do our part by using it. Isn't that cool?
