Because renewable sources can be replenished

because we will not run out of them

∙ 8y agoRenewable resources are resources that can be relied upon to appear at regular intervals, such as trees, light, water, feces, or anything else that can be replenished. Therefore they are a more realistic option for the future. Nonrenewable resources are things that, once used up, are gone forever, like coal and oil. For example, my cat died this morning. He himself is a renewable resource because somewhere in the world a new cat is being born. But the happiness he provided me with was a nonrenewable resource.

How are renewable and nonrenewable energy different?
Yes, nonrenewable and renewable sources are different - very different. For example, nonrenewable sources such as fossil fuels harm the environment and will run out soon. Green renewable sources are good for the environment such as solar energy. It comes from the sun. That is why it is called solar energy.
What are the earths main type of resources?
they are renewable and non-renewable resources.
What energy source is renewable?
Renewable energy sources are Solar, wind, Geothermal, Tidal are prime energy sources
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
How do nonrenewable resources and renewable resources?
Dont differ like if it helped
Why are renewable sources of energy better option than nonrenewable resources?
Because renewable sources can be replenished (apex) because we will not run out of them
How are energy sources renewable?
Renewable energy resources are always there. We just need to harness them.
Where are renewable resources located?
Renewable sources of energy come are natural resources thus it can be located everywhere. Example of renewable sources are sun, wind, geothermal, wave, biomass.
What new energy sources are better for the environment and produce electricity?
New energy resources better for the environment are called renewable or alternate energy forms. They include solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen.
Benefits of using crude oil compared to renewable sources?
It is fresh so it can do more. It takes energy to covert the resources into renewable resources.
Is energy derived from renewable sources better than that produced from fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable so have a finite supply. This means that they will eventually run out. They also produce carbon dioxide when burnt which contributes towards global warming. Renewable sources do not pollute the atmosphere and do not run out. Therefore renewable sources are better for the environment, but fossil fuels give more energy per mass. Which is better depends on what you look for, environment and sustainability or high density of energy. Renewable energy still gives out sufficient energy, so renewable sources are better.

Will renewable energy sources run out one day?
If we run out of wind energy then we will have bigger problems.
How is renewable energy resources better then non renewable resources?
Renewable energy sources are Carbon neutral, that is, they do not destroy the environment by increasing the Carbon-dioxide content in the atmosphere. They help control the effects of Global Warming and Climate Change. Renewable energy sources also provide energy security. With the scarcity and rising prices of petroleum, alternate sources of energy have to be looked at to avoid economic slowdown. Renewable energy provides new avenues of employment opportunities and helps to diversify the energy industry. Renewable energy permits localised generation or decentralised generation eliminating transmission and distribution losses. This also enables consumers to export/sell surplus energy generated to the grid and this acts as an additional income to the consumer.
How are non-renewable energy resources better than renewable resources?
Generally they are more convenient and portable. Most of our energy is produced by non renewable sources and society is, presently, adapted to that. Many people would say they were not better, because of the carbon they are putting into the atmosphere. They are cheaper at the moment because few countries have a price on carbon. See the related question below.
Why is sustainable energy important?
Because non-renewable sources are...well...non-renewable? They won't last forever. Renewable resources can be renewed. Congratz
Why does your population continue to rely on natural resources when renewable sources of energy available?
This is a world-wide problem not confined to any particular country; it exists because the cost of non-renewable energy sources is, so far, significantly less than the cost of renewable sources.
