Best Answer

Yes, any electricity generated by renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen) reduces the amount produced by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).

What is the pro about uranium?

The principal advantage and use is nuclear energy, an energy with no global warming effects.


What are the energy sources that can help stop global warming?

The energy sources that can help stop global warming are renewable energy sources like solar, water (hydro, wave and tidal), wind, geothermal as well as biofuels of various kinds. All these help stop global warming because they produce electricity without releasing carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emissions. We have to stop relying on the polluting burning of fossil fuels for our future.


What is the relationship between global warming and alternative sources of energy such as solar energy?

well soler energy is energy from the sun and global warming is the warming of the globe and you need the sun for both....so...


Can alternative energy make a difference to global warming?

Yes, if we changed to alternative, renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and biofuel) we would stop the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions that are causing global warming. Our remaining forests would gradually remove the additional CO2 from the atmosphere and the earth would cool again.


Do power stations affect global warming?

Power stations that run on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas that is contributing to global warming.Power stations that use renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal etc) have no emissions and have no effect on global warming.

How can geothermal power help global warming?

Geothermal energy (heat from under the earth) is largely pollution-free. If geothermal electricity is used instead of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) electricity, then this helps to slow global warming.
