Renewable energy is like a magic trick where we use the power of the sun, wind, water or even rubbish to make electricity. In Australia, we have lots of sunshine and wind, so we use special machines called solar panels and wind turbines to capture this energy and turn it into electricity.
This is great because it means that we don't need to burn lots of coal and gas to make electricity. Burning these things can make our planet dirty and unhealthy. It's like eating lots of sweets – it might taste good, but it's not good for our bodies. So, by using renewable energy, we can keep our planet healthy and clean.
Australia is lucky because we have lots of space to put the machines called solar panels and wind turbines so that they can catch the energy from the sun and the wind. We also have lots of smart people who have figured out how to make these machines work really well and create lots of electricity.
Now, many Australian homes, schools, and businesses are using renewable energy to power their lights, computers, and other things. They're also helping to save money on their electricity bills and making a big difference in protecting our planet.
