Energy that keeps billing the sun instead of the planet's savings account.
means Describes a resource like sunlight, wind, or water that nature replenishes faster than we use it up, so it doesn't run out.
from From 'renew,' built on Latin 'novus' meaning 'new' — the same root behind 'novel' and 'innovate.' Add 're-' ('again') and you get 'make new again,' which is exactly what the sun does to its own supply every morning, free of charge.
