The government is investing in more renewable sources of energy (like solar, wind, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal and others) because it knows the damage being caused to the planet by fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power stations. It accepts the findings of the IPCC and has agreed to reduce its greenhouse levels by the amounts required by the Kyoto Protocol.

How do you explain why society has just recently begun investing in the development and use of bio-fuels?
Because the fossil fuels which we use are non renewable, and they are almost going to be no more now, so for anotjer option for fuel and energy scientist have started discovering bio fuels
Why are renewable resources better than fossil fuels?
Because renewable means we can make more of them, we never have to run out. Fossil fuels will be all used up one day.
IF more fuels are being made why is fossil fuels called Non-renewable?
New fuels are being made, like ethanol, which can be made from biomass, a quickly growing vegetation. These fuels are usually called renewable.Fossil fuels take millions of years to form, so they are called non-renewable.
Why you should use renewable energy?
You should use renewable energy because it save the world by causing less pollution and it also saves us from using fossil fuels which produces the pollution.Thats why we should use less fossil fuels and more renewable energy :)
Is the earth running out of non renewable energy resources?
Yes. Since they are nonrenewable, once you use them up there are no more. Trees are renewable since you can plant more, but fossil fuels like coal and oil are not renewable. They are fossil fuels formed over thousands of years from dead dinosaurs and such, so it will take a long time before there are any more of those materials.
Does solar energy benefits the environment?
Yes. It uses much less energy from fossil fuels which are coal, oil, and natural gas. Instead, it uses sunlight which is a renewable resource. Fossil fuels are not a renewable resource. When Earth runs out, there is no more.
Why must you save your fossil fuels?
Because fossil fuels are a non-renewable resource and will eventually run out. As well as the fact they ate becoming more and mote expensive
Why will fossil and nuclear fuels last longer if we also use renewable energy resources?
The more renewable energy we use the less non-renewable energy we use. And if we use less of it, it'll last longer.
Why is vegetable oil a more dependable fuel than fossil fuels?
Vegetable oil is renewable, fossil fuel is not.
Many energy sources are renewable but cost more to use than fossil fuels. True or false?
true
What do fossill fuels do?
we use fossil fuels for fuel, funny enough, and in many different things, cars, power, diesel, but they are gradually running out and seeing as they are not renewable (we cant make more) we have to turn to bio fuels which are renewable. Bio fuels are made out of sugar, but a negative side to this is all the space where crops normally ccrop will be filled up with fields of sugar cane!
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.
