Why is tidal energy not likely to be a potential source of energy?
potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and the tide is always in motion not standing still hence it is a source of kinetic energy.
What energy source supplies the majority of the world's energy?
In terms of electricity, it is still coal. Overall probably oil.
Is Hydrogen a renewable or nonrenewable energy source?
Hydrogen is a nonrenewable source of energy when used for nuclear fusion (which is still not a technologically attainable power generation mechanism). When used as an energy carrier for oxidation (e.g. fuel cell, and internal combustion engine) hydrogen is not an energy source. In such applications, hydrogen is a man-made resource.
Is Tidal energy renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
tidal energy is inexhaustible because we cannot use up all of the ocean. tides will still go in and out
Why is wind energy not a major energy source?
Due to current technological, economic and political issues. From a technology standpoint, wind is still not a truly value source of power. The newer systems are much better, but as far as real power they are not yet a workable solution. A typical wind turbine produces about 8% of the stated "rated" power. Variances I. Wind speed make this value unstable enough that fossil fuel plants run, on standby to support these systems. That means no real fuel savings or reduction in CO2. The hope is that someday this power source will be able to produce more power than they consume.
How does biomass save energy?
im learning about biomass energy in earth science and I have a project and I still don't understand the advantages and disadvantages can I please get help
Can vampires breathe air?
Yes, oxygen is still the major source for energy conversion.
Which resources provides most of the energy for the Earth's energy needs in 2008?
For electricity generation coal is still the major energy source, whilst for transport it is oil
Why is sunlight is not currently used as a major source of energy?
Getting energy directly from the Sun is still more expensive than using other energy sources, which are readily available.
What is Biomass History?
History of Biomass Prior to the industrial revolution, biomass satisfied nearly all of man's energy demands. Up until the 1860s, the United States used biomass, in the form of wood, for nearly 91% of all energy consumption. In 1992 biomass generated $1.8 billion in personal and corporate income and employed 66,000 workers. Although presently the majority of humankind's energy requirements are fulfilled by fossil fuel combustion, 14% of the world still utilizes biomass.
What underground solid is a serious pollutant when burned for energy?
When burned for energy,coal is a major pollutant.The reason coal is still burned to day is because it is a cheap source of energy as to solar or wind.
Why is geothermal energy better than biomass?
It's only an opinion so make it up yourself I think biomass is better. It gets rid of trash that is filling the landfills. It is also renewable. Biomass energy uses energy crops that aren't food to any animals, so they're not being hurt in the process. It reduces pollution and global warming. The downside is is that biomass can be expensive and it still lets out quiet a bit of pollution.
What is biomas energy?
Biomass, a renewable energy source, is biological material from living, or recently living organisms, such as wood, waste, (hydrogen) gas, and alcohol fuels. Biomass is commonly plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce heat. In this sense, living biomass can also be included, as plants can also generate electricity while still alive. The most conventional way in which biomass is used however, still relies on direct incineration. Forest residues for example (such as dead trees, branches and tree stumps), yard clippings, wood chips and garbage are often used for this. However, biomass also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibers or chemicals. Biomass may also include biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes such organic materials as fossil fuels, which have been transformed by geological processes into substances such as coal or petroleum.
Why is tidal energy not likely to be a potential source of energy?
potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and the tide is always in motion not standing still hence it is a source of kinetic energy.
Are you still using biomass today?

Difference between renewable and flow resources?
In term of resources, renewable energy is the resource replenish-able or can regrown to replace the depleted resource such as biomass. Some energy source, such as wind or sunlight will always pass by but not readily deposited for our use and must be use at site that is the flow resources. The them flow resources is not widely use in the energy sector per my knowledge, in current case, it is still considered solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy a renewable energy.
Is biomass renewable or nonrenewable?
It is a renewable source of energy because ALL vegetation gets its energy from the sun and regrows. Oil would not be an example of renewable energy because it takes millions of years to produce. It is definitely currently a renewable source of energy, but consider this. Biomass is renewable because it does not take 100,000 years or more to make it or for it to be made like oil. We can grow new crops, new trees, and they grow fast enough to use. But if we had only them would they still be renewable? It also takes a large amount of product to make biomass (like fertilizer to grow crops) and the prices go up, the more of it that is used (like the spikes in the cost for corn we have seen). Is it renewable, yes. Should it be? To an extent. If we had only that would it be like oil where we could not make enough? Of course.
