The term is misleading, since for ANY energy, once you use it, it's no longer available. It simply means that mankind can continue using it for a long, long time.

Why is wind energy caonsidered a renewable source of energy?
Because the energy causing the wind is that which comes from the Sun each day.
Is wind power a type of solar energy?
No, Wind power is just a renewable energy. Solar energy only covers energy from the sun.
Is paper a renewable energy yes or no?
No. It's not really a source of energy (except a tiny amount when it is burnt). Renewable energy includes sun, wind, hydro and geothermal.
Why is wind energy called solar energy?
Wind energy is not called solar energy. Solar energy is the energy from the sun, while wind energy is just wind energy.
Why is energy from the sun and wind called renweable energy?
It is classed as a renewable source of energy because the sun shines during the day (even under an overcast sky) and the wind blows on most days.
What type of renewable resource is the sun's energy or the wind?
Perpetually renewable.
Fuels such as the wind and sun that can generate power without being used up?
Wind energy and solar energy are called renewable energy sources. Other renewable energy sources include hydroelectricity (generated by water movement) and geothermal energy.
Is wind energy a renewable?
no it is not Yes it is. The energy in the wind comes from the sun whose light heats the surface of the earth and the atmosphere. It is that heat that ultimately drives the movements of the atmosphere. So the energy in the wind is constantly renewed by new energy from the sun.
Which renewable energy uses radiation?
Renewable energy is solar, wind, water and thermal power. Solar energy radiates from the sun.
Why is wind energy caonsidered a renewable source of energy?
Because the energy causing the wind is that which comes from the Sun each day.
What are some simularities of the sun's energy and the wind?
They are both seen as renewable sources of energy
Is wind power a type of solar energy?
No, Wind power is just a renewable energy. Solar energy only covers energy from the sun.
What is Wind is considered a renewable resource because the energy that drives the wind originally comes from?
the sun.
What is the best type of renewable energy?
It depends on where you are and how much wind, sun, etc. you get.
What are the four most common renewable energy source?
they are water wind geothermal energy the sun
What is a renewable energy resources that does not depend on the sun?
Wind, wave or geo-thermal
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.
