*there is a answer*

Non-conventional sources of energy also called renewable resources are the energy sources that won’t cannot be exhausted easily, as they are continuously regenerated by natural processes at a rate equal to or greater than the rate at which they are consumed. Some of the examples are solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy etc.

We live in a country that is blessed in abundance with such sources of energy like sunlight, water , wind, and biomass.

Let us consider an example, India being a tropical country has enormous possibilities of tapping solar energy. Karnataka is the state with the highest installed solar power generation capacity in the country.


Another Non conventional source of Energy being utilised in India at a massive scale is Wind Energy. The largest wind farm cluster is located in Tamil Nadu from Nagarcoil to Madurai


We need a tenfold increase in investment in utilising the existing  renewable energy and searching for more new renewable sources if we want to reduce the  consumption of coal and oil or other such Conventional sources of energy, that cannot be generated at the speed which can sustain its consumption rate.

The further expansion of the renewable energy sector would lead to the emergence of new employment opportunities in the country  for the unskilled and semi-skilled workers.
