What are some new sources of energy being studied in hopes that they will replace fossil fuels?

Some examples include:
- wind
- solar photovoltaic
- solar thermal
- hydroelectric
- nuclear fission
- geothermal
- tidal
- ocean current
- wave
- biomass
- waste to energy
These are not really NEW as we have been using these sources for many years. Even nuclear fusion is not new.
It is important to understand that Hydrogen is not an energy source. It can be used to store and distribute energy, after it has been produced by splitting water, but we can't mine Hydrogen like we do mine Coal - so it is not a source.

What sources of energy are most damaging to the environment?
Fossil fuels.
Why do people need to develop alternative sources of renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels?
Mainly two reasons. (1) The fossil fuels will eventually be used up. (2) Fossil fuels cause pollution.
What energy can be recycled?
Energy just changes to different forms, so "recycle" might not be the right word. However, if you mean more like what *sources* of energy can be reused... things like solar power, hydroelectric power, and wind energy are renewable sources. Fossil fuels aren't... or not in the near-term, since it takes a very, very long time to renew those sources.
Future of energy?
Currently, the world is heavily dependent on fossil fuel. But we might soon run out of it, and the amount of pollution it is creating is also alarming. The future of energy sources lie in the non-conventional sources of energy, most importantly solar, wind and tidal energy. Also alternative forms of energy like Hydrogen and BioAlcohol based fuels are close short term alternatives to reduce the dependency on fossil fuel. They produce little or no carbon di oxide, and are cheaper to generate too.
What is the second most important source after fossil fuels contributing to India's energy needs?
Sources do not contribute to needs, they contribute to SUPPLY.Needs are generated by people and industry.
Why should fossil fuels be conserved renewable energy sources are available?
Renewable energy cannot, at present, replace fossil fuels or our use of them.
Are fossil fuels alternative energy?
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
What sources of energy are most damaging to the environment?
Fossil fuels.
Why are energy sources called fossil fuels?
Not all energy sources come from fossil fluels. Fossil fuel energy sources are coal, crude oil. None fossil fuels energy sources are wind power, solar power, tidal power. It is arguable for atomic power , using uranium .
What are energy sources other than fossil fuels?
solor energy
Which of these energy sources is a fossil fuel?
natural gas
What are other energy besides fossil fuels?
Fossil fuel is not energy its a energy source and yes there is more energy sources besides the fossil fuel like coal and others.
Why do we need to improve sources of energy that are not fossil fuels?
since fossil fuels can be found almost anywhere in the world we need to improve sources of energy so that they are around the world............
What nonrenewable energy source?
nonrenewable energy sources are sources that are depleted sources as fossil fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, and oil)
What can you use to replace fossil fuels?
U can replace it by renewable energy
What are the two main sources of energy in earth's system?
solar energy and energy from fossil fuels
Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?
They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.
