Renewable energy sources are generally carbon emission free, that is, they emit no carbon dioxide (apart from their construction). Present energy sources are mainly fossil fuels, which, when burnt, release carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. If we can switch from fossil energy to renewable energy then we have the global warming problem fixed (if we do it quickly enough).

Why are new methods of energy production focusing on renewable sources?

Because renewable sources have no carbon emissions and are thus not causing global warming.


Why renewable energy sources are important?

Renewable energy sources are important because they are clean. They release no carbon dioxide, so they have no effect on global warming. Our continued reliance on fossil fuels for energy is harming the environment.


Geothermal enerygy prevents global warming?

it doesn't prevent global warming but it is a renewable clean energy that doesnt release green house gases


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.


Why should you support non-renewable energy sources?

because coal is a non renewable and it is the main culprit of global warming and coal is not infinte we will run out of coal soon


What are the advantages of renewable sources of energy?
