What are 3 alternative energy sources to fossil fuels?
There is a source of energy that is more friendly to the environment that has not been looked into yet such as using the force from the waves to power everything that fossil fuels are being used currently to power and you could use wind power as well to make a better alternative to fossil fuels
How does solar energy reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
Where you get energy?
Every day humans use energy from a variety of sources. These sources included fossil fuels, wind, water, solar energy, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy. We even get energy from the foods we eat.
For what reasons is wind power better than fossil fuels?
Wind power does not harm the envoirment no fossil fuels are burned in the making of energy with wind power = ] i think haha __________ They are non-polluting, renewable and efficient. Not only does the use of renewable energy sources help reduce global carbon dioxide emissions, but they also add some much-needed flexibility to the energy resource mix by decreasing our dependence on limited reserves of fossil fuels. The wind turbines can effectively generate energy as electricity for free as long as the wind is available. The wind is free and renewable, which gives an advantage compared to the contaminating fossil fuel that have already done damage to the earth's ecology. Wind turbines will also start to make a profit if used commercially. Unlike fossil fuels, after you've paid for the turbine they start to make energy which can be sold on to the nation grid for example. In time the amount paid for the turbine would have been recovered and then you're making money using the free energy of the wind. Cool!
Is wind energy a better source than fossil fuels?
Wind energy is better in terms of being a cheaper energy source and for its unlimited supply, since it is renewable. However, potential sites to use wind energy are limited, cost of power storage is very high, and it is less controllable, so a backup source of energy is necessary.
Does wind energy use traditional fossil fuels?
No. Wind turbines capture the wind's energy and convert it into electricity.
Why does Hawaii use wind energy?
Because all fossil fuels must be imported.
How can we minimize use of fossil fuels?
There are many other alternatives to using our fossil fuels, get online silly! Google things like wind, solar energy, and water energy....
How Sustainability For Future Use Of Wind Energy?
Wind energy is a renewable source of electricity, unlike fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas), which will eventually run out. Therefore, in the future, as fossil fuels run out, nuclear energy, and energy produced by the tides and wind will have to take over.

What energy source can you use instead of fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are exhaustible. Electric energy is an alternative.
3 fossil fuels that make 90 percent of Australia's energy use?
Australia uses coal, oil and natural gas. These are fossil fuels. The amount of energy derived from the wind and solar is rising fast.
What do these energy sources have in common and how do they differ from fossil fuels?
Answer: Many natural resources are of energy. People use energy not only from fossil fuels, but also from the wind and the sun. Dams produce hydroelectric power by harnessing the power of falling water.
Are fossil fuels the most efficient energy source available?
No. Nuclear energy is the most efficient in producing steam for use in engines. 15-20% of the energy in fossil fuels is lost up chimneys into the atmosphere, and is unusable. Solar and Wind energy farms cannot harness or convert effectively all the energy in the sunlight or wind and have much lower actual efficiencies. Fossil fuels presently are the cheapest and most reliable energy source available. Solar and wind energy are less reliable.
Do ecnomical cars use fossil fuels?
All cars use fossil fuels somewhere in their energy cycle.
How do we use fossil fuels for energy?
We burn them
