These forms of energy are called "renewable" or "sustainable" - the key concept is that they continue to be supplied apparently without being depleted (used up) like other forms of energy, like petrol in your car or coal in a power station. Even uranium in a nuclear power station is used up. Other forms of renewable energy include hydroelectricity and biofuels. Remember that all forms of energy will eventually run out. Solar energy, which comes from the sun, will stop when the sun dies in a supernova.

What two fuels are burned at power stations to create electricity?
Most power stations use steam to drive turbines connected to generators. Most fuels can be burnt, to provide the heat to generate steam. Choose two out of these:- 1. Oil 2. Gas 3. Coal 4. Peat 5. Bio mass (shredded wood)
What is the purpose of a power generator?
to generate power
How do wind farms not contribute to global warming?
Wind farms generate electricity using the power of the wind. There are no polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, such as are released from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
How could power stations reduce the amount of carbon dioxide they produce?
There are many ways to generate electricity. Methods that burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce carbon dioxide. Methods using renewable energy do not. Nuclear power plants, although uranium in non-renewable, do not produce carbon dioxide. Power stations could be rebuilt to use different fuel sources. Biomass and biofuel will power a coal fired power station without emitting the carbon dioxide pollution.
Where can fossil fuels be used?
Fossil fuels are used in thermal power stations for production of electricity. They are used as automobile fuels i.e petroleum. They are used in factories and industries as power source like in Iron or Steel industries.
Can fossil fuels generate electric power?
yes
What are fossil fuels used for?
Fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in our homes and for to power our automobiles and other vehicles and power tools.
Does Nuclear Power save energy?
Nuclear power plants generate electricity without burning fossil fuels, so do not release CO2, which causes climate change.
Which fossil fuels are used to generate electricity in France?
nuclear power
How are fossil fuels and nuclear power generate harmful?
Well, they both generate thermal pollution, but after they differ wildly.
Does solar power contribute to global warming?
In fact, the opposite is true.By using solar power, as well as wind power and geothermal power, we can generate electricity without burning fossil fuels. The less we burn fossil fuels, the more we slow down the effects of global warming.
What do you call places where fuels are burned to generate electricity?
A power plant or generating station.
Can nuclear plants help conserve energy?
They can help conserve other fuels which are used to generate energy. They can be used in place of those fuels but they, along with all power plants, generate energy they do not conserve it.
Why did Japan use nuclear reactors?
Japan has few natural resources. They have to generate their electricity from imported fuels, primarily fossil (petrochemical) fuels. The nuclear reactor is an option to the use of fossil fuels to generate heat to generate electric power, and for Japan, an island nation, it was one that came with acceptable risks.
Fuels such as the wind and sun that can generate power without being used up?
Wind energy and solar energy are called renewable energy sources. Other renewable energy sources include hydroelectricity (generated by water movement) and geothermal energy.
How does Canada use its uranium?
Fabrication of nuclear fuels to generate electricity in nuclear power reactors.
What are two energy resources which are not fuels and which are used to generate electricity?
Wind power, hydroelectric power, solar power, tidal power, nuclear power, geothermal power.
