How efficient is hydroelectric power compared to fossil fuel?
Hydroelectric power is about 90% efficient while fossil fuels are about 60% efficient.
What are good things about hydroelectric power?
they don't burn fossil fuels
Is hydroelectricity a substitute to fossil fuels?
Yes. If we can use more electricity from dams (hydroelectic power), we conserve fossil fuels. I also note that while hydroelectric is generally better than using fossil fuels, there are a number of disadvantages to hydroelectric power, including loss of land and negative impact on the environment when large dams are constructed. See related links.
What are two alternatives to using fossil fuels for power?
Two alternatives are Hydroelectric and Geothermal.
What are some sources of power that are not fossil fuels?
Wind, solar, water (as in hydroelectric dams), and Biofuel (corn-based ethanol) are major alternatives to fossil fuels.
Is fossil fuel used to produce hydroelectric power?
No, hydroelectric power is produced from the movement of water spinning a turbine. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) produce energy by burning.
What is one alternative to fossil fuel production of electricity?
Hydroelectric power is an alternative to production of electricity produced by fossil fuels
How water is used in coal generating power?
water is used for hydroelectric power it is not used for burning fossil fuels
Why is fossil fuels worse then hydroelectric power?
Fossil fuels are worst than hydroelectric power because when they are burnt to harness their energy, they release CO2, a greenhouse gas, this enhances the effects of global warming and as once fossil fuels have been mined and burnt, they are gone and will not reacumilate again for millions of years whereas hydroelectricity doesn't burn any carbon, releasing no CO2 and hydroelectricity's original source of power will never run out, making it much more efficient.
Is solar power better then fossil fuels?
yes it is
Three types of fossil fuel and three types of renewable energy sources?
Oil, coal, and natural gas are the three main types of fossil fuels.
Why is solar power better than fossil fuels?
Solar power is better than fossil fuels for several reasons. Solar power is a renewable energy source that produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, unlike fossil fuels which contribute to air pollution and climate change. Additionally, solar power has a lower environmental impact in terms of water usage and land degradation compared to fossil fuel extraction and combustion.
