Well, a main point is obvious, it's renewable. Fossil fuels, although abundant, have a limited supply; eventually they'll run out. Also, though all methods for harnessing energy have their own environmental effects, renewable energies tend to be less harmful than currently used methods.

Why is nonrenewable energy better than renewable energy?

Advantages to renewable: Non renewable energy is worst than renewable for a number of reasons, but some of the main ones being that: 1.) As renewable energy does not use a limited fuel, it is resistant to rising prices, so as the price of oil goes up, the price of renewable energy wont. 2.) Renewable energy will last until the sun dies, about 5 billion years, so even when oil, coal and natural gas have ran out, the sunlight, tides (controlled by the moon not sun though) and wind will still be available to harness energy from. 3.) Without a limited fuel, renewable energy is cheaper, just build the generater (wind turbine or hydroelectric dam etc.) and watch the money keep rolling in without much going out apart from the odd repair now and again. 4.) Without fuel, renewable energy is good for the environment and does not contribute to acid rain or global warming apart from when building the generater to start with. 5.) Renewable energy does not create any waste products 6.) Without needing fuel, renewable energy can be used in the most isolated of places without any fuel reserves and due to many of the other advantages, it is also good at helping provide energy to developing countries. Independance: renewable energy allows houses, villages or even countries become independent as they will not need to buy oil and fuel from other countries (whether this helps or metaphorically destroys the international economy probably depends on the situation however it certainly saves it's possessor money from having to buy fuel or electric from elsewhere)


Why there is energy crisis and how you can overcome energy crisis?

The energy crisis can be overcame by the following methods: 1) Increase the use of renewable energy sources such as sunlight, wind, tides etc. 2) Reduce the use of non-renewable energy sources such as petroleum, coal, natural gas etc. 3) Avoid the wastage of energy such as burning street lights at daytime, using car or bike for going to a walkable distance etc.

Which of the 8 forms of energy are renewable?

The main 8 types of energy are: 1) Potential Energy 2) Kinetic Energy 3) Light Energy 4) Heat Energy 5) Sound Energy 6) Electrical Energy 7) Chemical Energy and 8) Magnetic Energy If this is what you meant, then potential, kinetic, light, heat, sound and magnetic energy are all renewable, and most types of chemical energy (not things like nuclear fission / fusion). Electrical energy can be renewable, depending on how it's generated. Which is why I think you may have meant power, not energy. If so, the main types of renewable power are: 1) Solar 2) Wind 3) Tidal 4) Wave 5) Geothermal 6) Hydroelectric 7) Biomass Hope that helps :)

What are 2 advantages of gravitational energy?

Gravitational energy is a renewable energy source that does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, making it environmentally friendly. Gravitational energy can be stored for longer periods, allowing for a more consistent and reliable energy supply compared to some other renewable sources.


What are the ways to make sure there will be enough energy for the future?

In the most general terms, that would be: (1) Find new energy sources or make better use of the existing energy sources; and (2) Use less energy.
