How can using renewable energy reduce pollution?
All non-renewable energy sources produce some sort of pollution. For fossil fuels, the pollution is in the combustion emissions. In addition to CO2, other pollutants include nitrous oxides, sulfuric oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon particulate, and unburned hydrocarbons. Coal combustion also produces ash and heavy metals like mercury. In the US and Europe, pollution controls minimize the release of most of these pollutants, but not all countries have strict environmental controls and standards. Nuclear power plants produce nuclear waste (spent fuel rods). Using renewable energy avoids the generation of these pollutants.
Is a wind mill nonrenewable energy?
Wind turbines produce renewable energy. Energy is considered renewable when it is created by a source that is inexhaustible.
What is harnessing wind to produce electricity an example of?
It is an example of renewable energy.
What is built across a river and produces renewable energy?
A dam or a water wheel to produce electricity from the water flow. Hooweestik.
Does hydroelectric power produce pollution?
No. It relies totally on the potential energy of a raised body of water. You could argue that the turbines and generators used polluting energy to produce them, or the building of the power house and dams. Once set up, there is no futher pollution caused in generating electricity.

What are 3 benefits of solar power energy?
They are a renewable source of energy, they are quiet and they produce no pollution.
Why does solar energy not have pollution?
Actually solar energy systems do generate pollution, but the vast majority of that pollution is generated during manufacture not use. This makes containing and limiting the pollution much easier. After approximately 3 months of use, the renewable energy produced by the panels has compensated for the initial pollution. Then the panels produce free, clean, renewable energy with no carbon dioxide pollution.
How does biogas plant help to reduce problem of pollution?
biogas plant does not produce smoke .it is a renewable resource :P :D
Why is steam not a renewable resource?
Steam itself is renewable, but what is used to produce steam is not. Common fuels to produce steam are coal, and oil, which are not renewable.
Is biogas renewable or non-renewable?
Renewable as we produce more than we use, for example coal is non-renewable because of the fact that we can't produce coal as fast as we use it.
What is one benefit of geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is a renewable source of electricity, meaning it will not run out. It does not directly produce greenhouse gas emissions.

How can using renewable resources reduce pollution?
because it is renewable that means it natural and can never run out. it can cause less pollution because it doesn't give out any once it is built. when people are building dams fr hydroelectricity they obviously cause allot of pollution because of the machinary and the fuel that is being used. however renewable enery doesn't create any pollution but building it does.
What is the good and bad about hydroelectricity?
It is good because it is a renewable energy source that does not produce pollution, but it is bad because most forms involve damming up rivers which upsets local ecosystems.
Is livestock renewable or non renewable resource?
in a way it is renewable but takes a lot of time to produce more and more
Does wind energy produce renewable energy?
Wind energy is renewable energy.
