What else can I help you with?
Does hydro electricity use fossil fuels?
No hydro power is water and water is a renewable resource.
Why is it good to use hydro power?
so we dont have to use fossil fuels.
Are fossil fuels cleaner than hydropower?
No. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) emit carbon dioxide pollution (causing global warming) when used, as well as other by-products. Hydro power is clean, green, renewable and free.
How does hydro power best break your dependence on oil and fossil fuels?
Hydro power is clean, green and renewable, with no carbon dioxide emissions. Moving to hydro and other renewable energies means we can break our dependence on fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) for ever.
Are fossil fuels the forward to a brighter cleaner future?
Fossil fuels emit carbon dioxide which leads to the greenhouse effect, power stations have to purchase emissions, EUAs now to offset this. A cleaner future is possible with nukes and solar/wind power. Gas is the least pollutant of the fossil fuels
What is the opposite of fossil fuels called?
Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are considered the opposite of fossil fuels. These sources are considered sustainable and have lower environmental impacts compared to fossil fuels.
What is the same between wind power and fossil fuel?
Both wind power and fossil fuels are used to generate electricity. Additionally, they both have the potential to impact the environment, although wind power is considered cleaner and more sustainable compared to fossil fuels.
What can you use hydro power for?
Most hydro power is used to generate electricity, which then replaces non-renewable energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is the opposite of fossil fuels?
Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power, are considered the opposite of fossil fuels. These sources are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and do not produce greenhouse gas emissions when generating electricity.
What 5 reasons that hydro power better than fossil fuels?
It is more plentiful, most likely a never ending supply. It is renewable (through the natural process of evaporation/rain). It requires no refining (processing). It is cleaner, no emissions, better for the environment. It is safer (no refinery explosions or oil spills).
How does New Zealand gains it's electric power?
Fossil Fuels, hydro-electric dams and, more recently, wind farms.
What are the common ways of getting electricity such as hydro electric power thermal power and nuclear power?
There are: Hydro electric, Nuclear, Solar, Wind, and Fossil fuels, Geo- thermal and Biofuels.Hydro electric has two categories : Tidal and Wave
