What is the least non renewable resources?

coal, gas You used a double negative here. The least non-renewable means the same thing as the most renewable. I would say sunlight is the most renewable energy source. Sure the sun will burn out some day, but that will be a long time from now. Sunlight will last a lot longer than coal and gas.


Differentiate renewable from non-renewable energy?

the wind is a type of renewable energy-use it and some will come along later. once you burn coal,it's gone -certainly in your lifetime-it's non renewable. A renewable fuel is anything that can replenish at roughly the same rate we consume it. Corn used for ethanol is one example. The corn replenishes at a rate as fast as we use it. Non renewable is anything that we consume at a rate faster then we can replenish. For example, we have roughly 700 years of oil left. Once this is gone, we will not have anything left. Coal, oil, nuclear and trees are examples. Trees could be renewable if we consumed at the same or lower rate then we grew new ones to maturity.


Is nuclear power rewable?

Nuclear power is not considered renewable because it relies on finite resources, specifically uranium and other fissile materials, which can be depleted over time. While it generates low greenhouse gas emissions during operation, the extraction and processing of nuclear fuel are not sustainable in the same way as renewable sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric power. Additionally, the long-term management of radioactive waste presents significant challenges. Therefore, while nuclear power can be a low-carbon energy source, it does not fit the definition of renewable energy.


Why is hydroelectric power considered a renewable resource?

Hydro-electric power is a renewable resource. The definition of 'hydroelectric' is hydro or water used to generate electricity. It is said that the same amount of water that is on earth now is the same amount that was on earth about 5 billion years ago because of the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation etc.) thus causing it to be renewable after use. Hydro-electric power has a considerably lower output level of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than fossil fuel powered energy plants and it is renewable because you can continuously use it and it will not run out. The water will continue to fall as rain, fill the dams and generate electricity.

What are energy sources like sun and water?

The sun is a renewable source of energy. Water is not a renewable source of energy. It is a renewable resource as long as the rain keeps on falling on the same place.

Is wind and wind energy the same thing?

No, wind refers to the natural movement of air, while wind energy is the energy harnessed from the wind to generate electricity using wind turbines. Wind energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power.

Can renewable energy and non-renewable energy can be used at the same time?

Answer : YES Renewable power sources and non-renewable power souces are both used to generate electricity, which is then transfered through the 'power grid' (power lines) to different houses. Electricity generated from renewable sources is not different in any way to electricity generated by non-renewable sources. Therefore, they can both be used at the same t5ime


Is anything bad about solar energy?

no Yes, removing energy from the atmosphere may have long term effects. The energy contained in the atmosphere controls the weather and what changes removing this energy may make is unknown. The same applies to power turbines. The is no such thing as 'free' or' renewable energy'
