What is an REC?

After completing a homework assignment where I had to explain what REC's (renewable energy certificates) were, I found myself second guessing my understanding so I decided to look more into it. I found this short video which explains how REC's are created from renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines, to prove that they are being used to help create clean energy and how you can help fun these sources to ensure that renewable sources continue to be used. I thought it was a simple and fast way to explain and break down what a REC is and how they work. Watch below!
