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.

Give two examples of where renewable energy resources could be used instead of fossil fuels?
How can the energy from renewable resources be used to generate power?
Those resources can be converted into whatever type of power is needed.
What is a flow?
Flow resources, such as water, wind, and sunlight, are neither renewable nor nonrenewable because they must be used as, when, and where they occur. The energy in a river can be used to generate electricity, which can be transmitted over great distances. However, that energy must be captured by turbines as the water flows past or it will be lost.
Where can renewable energy resources be used instead of fossil fuels?
What is an non example of non renewable resource?
An example of a non-renewable resource is coal, because when you burn it it is finished. A non-example of a non-renewable resource is solar power, because you can use it (to generate electricity) and it is still there to be used again.
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.
Most of the energy resources used to generate electricity are renewable.?
No. Most of the energy resources used to generate electricity are non-renewable, like the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. Hydro power and nuclear power are the only important renewable sources. Wind and solar are not yet valid sources of power.
How does the use of nonrenewable resources compare to the use of renewable resources?
There is only one way they are similar, namely, they are both used, usually, to generate electricity. But they are very different in many many ways.
Renewable energy comes from natural resources that can be used up What are two kinds of renewable energy?
Your question is not correct. Renewable energy comes from natural resources that are NOT used up. That's why it is called renewable.Two kinds of renewable energy that can be captured to generate electricity are:solar powerwind power.
What resources are used to generate electricity?
my brain
What renewable resources are used to generate eletricity?
wind and solar power
What is the uses of renewable energy?
It is used to generate electricity, without the carbon dioxide emissions of non-renewable energy.

List two renewable energy resources that are widely used today and indicate how they are used?
Hydro electricity - used to generate power for towns and cities around the world.PV Solar panels - used on the roofs of many private houses to generate electricity, either for their own use or to sell back to the power companies.
How can the energy from renewable resources be used to generate power?
Those resources can be converted into whatever type of power is needed.
Is uranium renewable or non renewable resources?
uranium is a non-renewable resource. When we have used it all up, there is none left. A renewable resource is something like sunlight, which we can use to generate electricity, and even if we use it all today, it still comes back just as strong tomorrow.
What are two renewable resources that are widely used today?
Solar and Hydro electricity
