  Clean energy means energy derived from renewable, zero-emissions sources, as well as energy saved through energy efficiency measures. Clean energy generates electricity from sustainable sources like solar, wind and geothermal power with no pollution or little or global warming emissions. These are renewable energy with nearly zero pollution. Most of our electrical energy comes from power stations that use fossil fuels like oil and coal. The power stations burn the fossil fuels to produce electricity and produces greenhouse gas, including methane and carbon dioxide. Therefore, they are the dirty sources of energy. The greenhouse gases are causing the Earth's atmosphere to warm, which will cause the climate to change. Clean energy sources can be used to produce electricity with less environmental impacts. This is possible to make electricity from a clean energy or renewable energy sources without producing carbon dioxide (CO₂), the principal cause of global climate change. The air and water pollution produced by natural gas and coal plants is linked to breathing problems, neurological damage, heart attacks, and cancer. So, generating electricity from renewable energy rather than fossil fuels offers significant public health benefits.
