Revise: Impacts of Renewable Energy ResourcesHydro-electric power (HEP), wind power and solar power use naturally replenished sources: moving water, wind and sunlight. Unlike burning a finite stock of coal or oil, using these resources does not exhaust a fuel supply.
Link each impact to the resource and explain the consequence: flooding land for an HEP reservoir can destroy habitats and force people to relocate.
