Name some coventional sources of energy?
Coal and all types of fossil fuels.conventional sources mean that was traditionally known to people.
Why are fossil fuels currently the energy source that people worldwide use frequently?
No other energy sources are as reliable as fossil fuels. Its not allways as windy as possible, as sunny as possible etc.
Why do people use fossil fuels instead of renewable energy?
Although renewable energy sources are better for the planet, they are not so good for your pocket. Solar panels etc. can cost alot of money to install, but governments are slowly introducing a rebate or cash back for people who do turn to renewable energy.
What do these energy sources have in common and how do they differ from fossil fuels?
Answer: Many natural resources are of energy. People use energy not only from fossil fuels, but also from the wind and the sun. Dams produce hydroelectric power by harnessing the power of falling water.
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 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.
When do the transition from fossil fuels to other energy sources occur?
Fossil fuels will some day run out, so the only means of energy will be from renewable sources. The use of biofuels is rapidly growing, but petroleum is source for most of the fuel for our cars. So, we are transitioning, but not very fast. Renewable energy sources have been significant contributors to our energy needs for decades, primarily in hydroelectric power from dams. The US governmental agencies are encouraging people to use energy efficiently and increase the supply of energy from renewable sources. See related link. You can also find information on each of the renewable energy sources (wind, hydroelectric, solar and biofuels) by searching the internet.
How people can be persuaded to use less fossil fuel by using renewable resources?
In simple terms.... education ! People need to be made to realise that fossil fuels WILL run out ! That will force people to use alternative energy sources. Better to start now - than wait until there is no way back !
What is the problem with using traditional sources of energy?
Present energy sources, such as coal and oil are fosslis fuels which mean they are limited. Because they will run out people will have to find another way of getting energy, such as wind or solar, to keep ever thing going Present energy sources, such as coal and oil are fosslis fuels which mean they are limited.

How did people discover fossil fuels?
People might have started digging the surface of earth and that is how they found the fossil fuels.The fossil fuels were then used to get energy and light.
What are two reasons people do not use energy instead of using fossil fuels?
Nuclear power stations are very expensive to set up, compared with fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations.There is a problem disposing of nuclear waste and people are afraid of accidents.
Why is it dangerous for the country to be depend on fossil fuels?
because fossil fuels may finish after a certain time and then the county will have to start all over again and find other energy sources and this may heavily affect the people over the country as they might not get to use them for sometime
