Solar power is better than oil for many reasons, here are just a few:

Solar power doesn't affect global warming: Burning oil causes CO2 to be released into the air, causing the earth to warm.

Solar power doesn't harm the environment: Oil spills kill ecosystems, burning oil produces acid rain ( rain with a high acidity level )

Solar power is basically free, other then the material cost for making the solar panels: oil cost alot to drill, and then move to the gas stations

Solar power will be here forever, anyone can put a solar panel out and get power: Oil will be gone in the next generation or two, after that, there is no more oil.

Is solar power a better source than fossil fuel oil?

Only during the day!


Why is solar power better than electricity?

For us, solar power is the same as electricity, or it is used for the same purpose. Most of the energy we use in our everyday lives is in the form of electricity. Electricity is generated in many different ways, from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or from renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal). Solar power produces electricity, but is not really better or worse than electricity.


Why is solar power being developed?

Solar power is another way for us to harness energy. Natural resources such as coal and oil are limited resources and we are using them quickly. Solar energy is also better for the environment.

Does solar power include coal and oil?

No, Solar Power is generated from Sunlight only.


What do solar panels replace?

coal, oil, and gas for electricity and transportation. Solar power and panels replace all fossil fuels and are much better for the earth.


Are solar vehicles better than gas vehicles?

Gas vehicles use oil to create fuel and solar vehicles use sun energy or wind energy to create fuel. The correct answers is yes, solar vehicles are better than gas vehicles!


What is alternative fuel and its sources?

Of the fossil fuels, natural gas emits less carbon dioxide than oil (though the gas itself, methane, is a powerful greenhouse gas and there are serious leakage problems with its use). Any of the renewable sources of energy are better than oil. Solar, geothermal, wind, hydro etc, all have zero greenhouse gas emissions.


Why is oil better than solar energy?

It isn't exactly "better" because it isn't reusable and it causes a lot of pollution, but it however does work faster because there are large amounts of it. There can only be so much solar energy to be absorbed in panels.


What are the different types of power?

hydroelectricity solar energy tidal power oil power wind power coal power nuclear power


What car is better for the environment solar powered or regular cars?

Solar powered cars are completely pollution free. They have no carbon dioxide emissions. They make no contribution to global warming. They are much much better for the environment than regular cars burning oil.


Are coal oil and gas examples of solar power?

no these are all fossil fuels
