What are the alternatives fuels of fossil fuels?
hydroelectricity
Why do you still use fossil fuels if there are renewable alternatives available?
The reason why we still use fossil fuels is because the alternatives are too expensive and people are unable to afford it as well as the fossil fuels are easy to get to so business can gain access and sell on. In the future hopefully we can use the alternatives but for now it has to be fossil fuels.
Why is it worth considering alternatives to fossil fuels for the generation of electricity?
because fossil fuels are a finit resource and some day in the not to distant future we will run out of it.
Why researchers are finding ways for alternatives to fossil fuels?
because fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource that does pollut
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.
What are alternative fuels?
Alternatives fuels are fuels that are not made from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What are two alternatives to using fossil fuels for power?
Two alternatives are Hydroelectric and Geothermal.
What other biofuels can be considered?
There are a few different types of bio fuels. Some of these are biodiesel, ethanol, and biobutanol. These are all alternatives to fossil fuels.
Name five energy sources that provide alternatives to fossil fuels?
oil and natural gas,wood,coal,fossil fuels,organic oils,food,and the sun.
What is alternative fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels come from fossilied plant matter in the ground. Alternative fuels are alternatives to fossil fuels, and these are mainly carbon fuels that take their carbon from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (as fossil fuels do) but on a carbon cycle with a much shorter term. An example is wood, which can be burned as more trees are growing and absorbing carbon dioxide.
What are some of alternatives to fossil fuels?
There are no alternatives to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels were formed by life trapping sunlight falling on Earth over time periods of hundreds of millions of years. There is no realistic alternative for this source (amount) of energy. Once these fuels are used up all we will have is a little nuclear energy and access to the day to day energy currently falling on the planet. This will not be enough to sustain our civilization. The only hope is progress with nuclear fusion energy research.
Why is it Important that we find viable alternatives to fossil fuels for our electricity generation?
Basically two reasons.1) Fossil fuels won't last forever - we will run out of these fuels pretty soon. 2) Fossil fuels produce contamination, including filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
