It depends on how you use it. If you use a solar close dryer ( a clothes line) it would use less electricity than an electric clothes dryer. But what about your time? If it took you half an hour to hang up and take down the clothes and your time is worth $8 an hour? You could say that the labor cost is $4. If it only took one minute to put the clothes in an electric dryer and the dryer used $1 worth of electricity you would actually save time. And like they say time is money. So there are a lot of ways of looking at it.
Solar energy does make a lot of sense when you use it in a remote location where you don't have access to power lines.
More expensive to instal, cheaper to run
greener, but unimaginably more expensive.
Fossil fuels are an indirect form of solar energy because solar energy was used to sustain the plant life,through photosynthesis, that is now now part of the fossil fuels.
Solar and wind energy don't expel CO2 (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels do. Also wind and solar energy are renewable energies. Fossil fuels will eventually run out.
Most countries burn fossil fuels to generate electricity.If they used solar power to generate electricity, thenThey would not have to use so much fossil fuel.Solar Energy itself does not reduce the use of fossil fuels. But the use of solar energy should hopefully reduce the need of fossil fuels to create energy, so therefore the more we can use solar power as an energy source instead of fossil fuels, the more we reduce the use of fossil fuels.
fossil fuels
Solar energy is a potential alternative for fossil fuels. It is a renewable source of energy and will be available as long as the sun lasts.
Ummm.....
The hydrocarbons used in the fossil fuel are the product of photosynthesis, that took place in the plants of carboniferous age. Since photosynthesis require solar energy, these fossil fuels have also been derived from solar energy.
because solar energy is renewable (never gets used up), solar energy is energy from the sun, it will never run out....fossil fuels such as oil coal and gas are getting used up fast, they are non renewable and so it is a big issue....so using solar energy is good to fossil fuel because then the fossil fuels will not get used up.
Yes, the energy in fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) came originally from the sun.
