Solar energy is the best energy/fuel that exists. The mother of all earthly fuels, solar energy reaches us not only from light and heat, but also in wind, waves, and of course, biomass-in which plants capture some of that solar energy and, through photosynthesis, convert it chemical energy.

There is no more fundamental fuel than solar energy, there is no more abundant fuel, there is no more powerful fuel. There is also no fuel more difficult to harness.

While fossil fuels are expensive cause pollution and will eventually run out, Soalr causes no emmisions is free and unlimited.

NO!

Answer 2

No. At least, not in a way that we can use. Fossil Fuels are basically the decayed remains of plants and animals that have died millions of years ago. Sure - more will be made, but only in a few million years, which is no good to us now. We're using fossil fuels up faster - way faster - than they can be produced. Therefore fossil fuels are not sustainable or renewable.

Everywhere on earth receives solar energy. This can be captured as electricity without any harmful carbon dioxide emissions which are causing global warming. So solar energy would be a good alternative anywhere.

Of course, it will be particularly efficient in hot sunny countries, and the polar regions during winter should have wind turbines for their six months of relative darkness.

See.., what are the basic things we need in a home by the use of electricity..?

Very low power consumed fan, light,... TV, water heaters,etc., comes next to them...so by just fixing a solar photo voltaic panel on the roof of one's home to the requirement...the basic needs can be fulfilled.

Even now, there are places where Air-Conditioners are running on solar panels.

No, but all fossil fuels are highly concentrated forms of far-ancient sunlight trapped in organic cells.

Depends on who you ask....

But at the end of the day, no it isn't...

According to the state of California hydroelectric power is not a renewable resource...

no because nuclear energy is its own mechanical energy and so are fossil fuels :D

no , biofuel is type of fuel made from ethanol (an ingredient in alcahol) , whilst a fossil fuel is the broken down pieces of fossils over millions of years.
