Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article as we require investing in sustainable energy as compared to exhaustible energy. Renewable energy is important as the current use of fossil fuel is a major contributor of global warming. This article provided an insight to all the different renewable energy sources available.

Evaluate the article
Writing quality: There was a mistake with the conversion of degree Celsius to degree Fahrenheit as follows 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) whereas it is supposed to be 35.6°F.

Mainstream technologies section is missing citations.

The images could be placed more aesthetically. The flow of the article could be better, section named history is almost at the end when it should have been discussed in the initial sections.

There is a section named solar thermal is which is an excerpt with word to word copied sentences this could be improved by writing in ones own words and providing proper citation.

Tone of the article is neutral but could also improve by mentioning drawbacks of renewable energy.

There is a table with information on hydroelectricity station and the numbers have not been cited.

On the talk page, conversations about formatting and the pictures is mentioned. This article is rated C class and is a part of a WikiProject under climate change articles.
