What non renewable resources are used to generate electricity?
We burn peat, wood, various forms of coal, oil, natural gas and uranium (nuclear power) to generate electricity. These are all fossil fuels that can only be used once, and the carbon dioxide they give off contributes to the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. //Actually, peat and wood are renewable and so is solar, wind and water generated power.
Is steam energy renewable?
This depends upon the source of the steam. Geothermal steam is considered renewable, in that it comes from heat generated by the slow decay of long lived isotopes. These isotopes will eventually ALL decay, and earth's mantle heat dissipated, but not for billions of years. Meanwhile there is very little drawback to tapping geothermal steam for energy. If the steam is generated by burning wood, charcoal, biodiesel, or biomass, these are considered renewable sources. If, on the other hand, the steam is generated by burning coal, the source is NOT renewable. Our coal and oil resources are finite in that they are not regenerated on time scales concordant with human life spans.
Is charred wood a renewable resource?
Quick answer: no charcoal is NOT nonrenewable. EXPLANATION: Charcoal is burnt wood, by burning the wood and taking all moisture out of it, it becomes a type of carbon. Because it is just burnt wood it is classified as renewable because wood is renewable, by just planting another tree in a few years you will have another tree to chop down and burn... But don't get me wrong CARBON is nonrenewable because it is mined out of the earth. Diamonds are also a different form of Carbon. =D lies
