Why are renewable energy sources better than nonrenewable source?
they are less expensive They can be used again
Why is renewable energy better for the society than non renewable energy?
Renewable energy means using the power of the sun, or the wind, or the movement of water in rivers and oceans to generate power. Once these power plants are established there are no emissions of carbon dioxide or any other pollutants. Non-renewable energy (from burning coal, oil and natural gas, mostly) releases vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increasing our greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming and climate change. So renewable energy is much better for society than non-renewable energy.
Is a windmills a nonrenewable resources or a renewable sources?
It would be naïve to say that there is a completely renewable source of energy. The sun, for example, which is the source of all energy on Earth, will form a Red Giant in a few billion years time, and will produce far less energy than it had in the past. Additionally, although wind (which relies on the sun) is renewable per say, machines to make use of wind energy, such as wind turbines, require maintenance et cetera and are in that sense, not *completely* renewable. However, for our purposes, and especially in contrast to Fossil fuels, the Sun, the wind, the tides et cetera are renewable sources of energy. Windmills are machines which convert the wind's energy into another form of energy. They, themselves, are not "renewable *sources," rather they can make use of a 'renewable' source, 'the wind,' to transform kinetic into potential energy.
What is worse renewable or non renewable energy?
Worse in what respect? Renewable energy is generally much better environmentally, but usually costs more than non-renewable. Non-renewable energy from coal, oil, and natural gas causes both air and water pollution, and greenhouse gases. Renewable energy from windmills interferes with the habitat and migration of birds and bats, hydro power diverts spawning patterns and can lead to flooding, nuclear generates dangerous waste, biomass can likewise release toxic substances, geothermal is efficient but extraordinarily costly. That pretty much leaves solar, which still has a long way to go in regard to efficiency, but progress is being made there. The decision which is better ultimately depends upon your needs, your resources, your location, and your environmental awareness.
How is a windmill better than oil or gas?
The reason that wind energy is better than oil or gas is because it is a renewable resource. While there is a limited amount of oil on this planet, there is an unlimited supply of wind. In addition, the damage to the environment is much smaller with wind power, due to the fact that there are no emissions from, say, burning materials.
Why are renewable sources of energy better option than nonrenewable resources?
Because renewable sources can be replenished (apex) because we will not run out of them
Is energy derived from renewable sources better than that produced from fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable so have a finite supply. This means that they will eventually run out. They also produce carbon dioxide when burnt which contributes towards global warming. Renewable sources do not pollute the atmosphere and do not run out. Therefore renewable sources are better for the environment, but fossil fuels give more energy per mass. Which is better depends on what you look for, environment and sustainability or high density of energy. Renewable energy still gives out sufficient energy, so renewable sources are better.
What are two reasons for renewable sources of energy been better than non renewable sources of energy?

Why are renewable source of energy a better option than nonrenewable resource?

Why is a renewable source of energy a better option to generate electricity than a non-renewable source of energy?
A renewable source of energy (sunlight, wind or water power, etc) is an better option to generate electricity because it is a natural source of energy and renews itself again and again. It also releases no carbon dioxide pollution into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.A:Renewable energy sources are much better in the long run. Renewable energy sources never run out. We can constantly use renewable energy sources however non-renewable energy sources will run out eventually with consistent consumption. A great example of a renewable energy sources is solar power. We will never run out of energy from the sun. A:They are important because they can be replenished and they do not harm our environment and they are eco-friendly
Why use renewable energy sources?
because it is more efficiant than any other form of energy
Why does your population continue to rely on natural resources when renewable sources of energy available?
This is a world-wide problem not confined to any particular country; it exists because the cost of non-renewable energy sources is, so far, significantly less than the cost of renewable sources.
How are renewable and nonrenewable energy alike?
Renewable energy sources use various non petroleum, non wood, non peat, non nuclear sources for fuel energy, typically to produce electricity. Petroleum, wood, peat, and nuclear energy are non renewable sources because they can be depleted faster than they can be replaced. The main way these energy sources are alike is they are all used to produce electricity.
How much electricity comes from renewable sources at present?
Around 20% of world electricity is from renewable energy in 2009. More than 80% of the renewable energy use is hydroelectric which had a lot of installation limit. Progress on renewable energy is rather slow to the energy crisis.
How are non-renewable energy resources better than renewable resources?
Generally they are more convenient and portable. Most of our energy is produced by non renewable sources and society is, presently, adapted to that. Many people would say they were not better, because of the carbon they are putting into the atmosphere. They are cheaper at the moment because few countries have a price on carbon.
