What are two reasons people need alternative energy resources rather than continuing to use fossil fuels?
We will eventually run out of oil from fossil fuels because it is finite. Worldwide, scientists believe that there is only 500 years of fossil fuels left at the current population increase level. The second reason is that burning these fuels increase greenhouse gases that warm the planet.
Which is an advantage of obtaining energy from the wind rather than from fossil fuels?
wind is a renewable energy source ,while fossil fuels are nonrenewable .
Why do you use biomass rather than using fossil fuel?
Biomass energy is renewable as Fossil Fuels are not
Why is bio-diesel considered an alternative fuel?
Bio-diesel is not a fossil fuel, rather it is manufactured from vegetation and algae, so any carbon dioxide it emits when burnt is part of the carbon cycle and does not add to global warming.This is why it is an alternative to fossil fuels.
How can recreational facilities go greener?
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES CAN GO green in bihar if the government-educates people not to use fossil fuel in large amounts as bit produces harmful gases like cabon-dioxide,carbon-monoxide,methane,propane,butaneetc...... so we can educate them not to use this rather they can use alternative sources of these natural polluting resources like solar energy,wind energy,thermal energy etc................ there are many such ways.............
What are the advantages of alternative energy sources?
Improved public health and environmental quality. Generating electricity from renewable energy rather than fossil fuels offers significant public health benefits. The air and water pollution emitted by coal and natural gas plants is linked to breathing problems, neurological damage, heart attacks, and cancer.
What are the uses of alternative source of energy?
Improved public health and environmental quality. Generating electricity from renewable energy rather than fossil fuels offers significant public health benefits. The air and water pollution emitted by coal and natural gas plants is linked to breathing problems, neurological damage, heart attacks, and cancer.
What are two other benefits of using hydroelectiric rather than fossil fuels as a source of energy?
The enerrgy is cleaner and it is a renewable resource
Why does a greater amount of energy resources from Canada go to US rather than other countries?

How are nuclear power plants different from other plants?
The source of the energy is the nuclear reactor, rather than a furnace for burning fossil fuels.
What does fossil fuels use to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
This appears to be rather a confused question. Fossil fuels have chemical energy, not mechanical energy. The chemical energy is usually converted to thermal energy by burning the fuel. The thermal energy is used to generate steam which is used to drive turbines and so convert it to mechanical energy. Finally, the turbines generate electrical energy..I suppose it is possible to throw lumps of coal or shoot jets of oil at a rotor and so make it spin like a turbine. That is probably the only way in which mechanical energy can be obtained directly from fossil fuels.
