What is made from renewable resources?
some electricity from renewable resources like solar and wind power and hydro
What are some resources used to generate electricity in energy stations?
Both renewable and non-renewable resources are used to create electricity. A few of them are wind, water, sunlight, coal, and nuclear resources.
What renewable fuels generate electricity?
Some people view solar panels and wind mills as renewable energy.The main renewable fuels are biodiesel and wood.You can use a wood burning stove to heat your home.You can also use a windmill to produce electricity for your home.
What are some non-renewable resources that can be found in your home?
Unfortunately the majority of electricity across the world is made by burning fossil fuels, and these are non-renewable. Your lawnmower or car run on petrol, non-renewable. Coal for the fire.
What are some reasons why hydro electricity is good?
it is a renewable source of energy and it can be made from polluted water also.you can also check yahoo! for the answer
If renewable resources can be replaced why do we need to conserve them?
The wind and the sun and moving waters are all renewable energy sources. We really do not have to conserve them.At present much of our electricity is generated from fossil fuels, producing extra carbon dioxide emissions and causing global warming and climate change, so it is important to conserve electricity. Conserving electricity will reduce these harmful emissions.When all our energy is produced from renewable sources and we are no longer burning fossil fuels (some time in the future), then electricity will be cheaper (or completely free), and conserving electricity will not be as important.
What does the term nonrenewable mean?
Non-renewable means it doesn't renew itself after it's been used.Non-renewable: Coal, for example is a non-renewable resource. If we burn it to generate electricity it's gone. We have to dig up some more to keep the power station going. Eventually there will be no more coal left.Renewable: Solar power is a renewable resource because we can use it all day to generate electricity (with photovoltaic panels), and it still is there tomorrow to be used again.
Is electricity renewable or non renewable?
Electricity is a non-renewable resource. Once you have used it, it won't come back. You have to generate more.You can generate electricity in any number of ways. You can use solar cells, wind power, water falling through turbines, you can burn coal, oil, natural gas, etc. You can generate electricity by running on treadmills or using stationary bikes. It's all electricity, but some of the methods use renewable sources and others do not.A: If electricity is produced by solar, wind, tides, waves, biomass, or geothermal energy then it is a renewable resource. Otherwise it is not.A: Electricity is largely produced by power stations burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas; Nuclear fission can also be used to produce electricity. All these are not renewable - there is a finite amount of fuel in the world and when it is used up, that's it.Hydro, wind, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and solar power are all regarded as renewable forms of energy because they aren't finite. We use their energy, and it still keeps coming.
What are some advantages and disadvantages of using wind energy to create electricity?
The advantage is that wind is renewable- it does not get used up. Disadvantages- the wind does not always blow, it does not blow at a constant speed, and it does not always blow where electricity is needed. It can be costly to generate and store electricity from wind energy.
What are some choices in terms of electricity suppliers?
It may be possible, depending on geographic location and state, to have options for electricity suppliers. Some options include plans of variable contract periods, or electricity that is generated from renewable or sustainable "green sources," incentives for fixed or indexed rates, or even offer incentives for energy efficiency.
Can you use tidal power in everyday life?
Tidal power produces electricity, the same electricity that you use in everyday life. Some countries are planning systems that will use the tides as a source of renewable energy. That is an extremely good idea.
How do you connect renewable power to the power grid?
In general, the power grid is the complex structure of electrical generation facilities and distribution networks. Connecting renewable power sources, be they wind, solar or what have you, involves using the renewable source to, by some means, generate electricity. And then that electricity is put on the power grid in the same manner as any electrical power is put on the grid when it is generated by nuclear, coal or oil fired steam plants or anything else.
