What are renewable and sources of energy? Discuss conventional sources of energy? Write a short on alternat sources of energy
Answers
Answer:
The sources which produce energy from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally replenished) are called renewable sources of energy.
Eg.: Solar power, Tidal power, Hydroelectricity
Non-renewable sources of energy are the sources which produce energy from non-renewable resources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes, or even in many, many lifetimes. Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels.
Eg.: coal, petroleum, and natural gas.
Answer:
A renewable energy source means energy that is sustainable - something that can't run out, or is endless, like the sun. When you hear the term 'alternative energy' it's usually referring to renewable energy sources too. It means sources of energy that are alternative to the most commonly used non-sustainable sources - like coal.
Conventional energy sources such as natural gas, oil, coal, or nuclear are finite but still hold the majority of the energy market. However, renewable energy sources like wind, fuel cells, solar, biogas/biomass, tidal, geothermal, etc. ... Wind power is a clean, emissions-free power generation technology.
