Explanation

The passage states that renewable energy sources 'can be ____ too.' Since the previous sentence describes them as 'clean and non-polluting,' the word 'replaced' makes the most sense - renewable sources can naturally replenish or be renewed (unlike finite coal or oil). 'Consumed,' 'used,' and 'generated' don't capture the essential renewable quality.
