About renewable energy

What is Renewable Energy? A source of energy is 'renewable' if it does not run out. For example, we will never lack energy from the sun, and so whatever the sun can power, like the growth of plants, heating and generating electricity from it, are renewable too. But the world will run out of oil one day, so oil is not renewable.
