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 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 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 are renewable source of energy a better option than nonrenewable resource?

What are two reasons for renewable sources of energy been better than non renewable sources of energy?
chris brown is the sexiest niogga n this world nd trey songz
Why are renewable energy sources better than nonrenewable source?
they are less expensive They can be used again
Is renewable better then non-renewable?
yes..... renewable is better than non-renewable because you can renew it and it is better for the environment. :)
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.
How does biomass energy create electricity?
Similar to coal, its burnt. But its better because you're burning renewable sources. :D
Compare traditional methods of generating electricity versus renewable energy sources?
Traditional methods use a supply of steam to drive a turbine/generator. The steam can be produced using fossil fuels or nuclear energy. Renewable sources would be wind or solar power mainly. Hydro power could be considered renewable also. These methods don't involve the steam cycle, which can only be up to about 40 percent efficient.
Why is it important that you increase the use of energy from renewable sources?
Because when you depend on energy sources which are not renewable and they run out, you are (for lack of a better descriptive and effective term) screwed. However, dependence on renewable sources means you will hypothetically never run out of energy and renewable sources are typically cheap; the only cost is the initial setup and maintenance.
Why is a renewable source of energy a better option to generate electricity than a non-renewable source of energy?
A renewable source of energy (sunlight, wind or water power, etc) is an better option to generate electricity because it is a natural source of energy and renews itself again and again. It also releases no carbon dioxide pollution into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.A:Renewable energy sources are much better in the long run. Renewable energy sources never run out. We can constantly use renewable energy sources however non-renewable energy sources will run out eventually with consistent consumption. A great example of a renewable energy sources is solar power. We will never run out of energy from the sun. A:They are important because they can be replenished and they do not harm our environment and they are eco-friendly
Is nuclear waste renewable or nonrenewable?
Renewable and nonrenewable resources are being used every day. Both these resources help us with everyday life, although some are better for the economy than others. They are both sources of Energy.
