-can pollute the air if directly burned
-Expensive to install technology to process and recycle wastes
-use up too much land
-Maintaining a supply of the waste product in sufficient quantities to maintain energy production can be difficult
-the burning of biomass produces greenhouse gases, which is dangerous for our earth
-some waste materials may only be available during seasonally (example: at harvest time)
- Could put environments at an even greater risk
*Solar's chance of "running out" in the next dozen millenia ZERO. collection of solar energy is basically a passive one, where as biomass is labor intensive and short termed.
but... that's just an opinion

Definition of renewable?
The recent definition of a renewable energy source is that could be compensated in less than 100 years.Examples are: Solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, ... etc
What is the advantage of using a biomass or energy pyramid rather than a pyramid of numbers?
Not all organisms have the same mass. Consider 1 whale versus 5,000 plankton - the whale has much greater mass, but only 0.1% of the total number of organisms. When you compare mass, you get a better idea of how much energy is actually available at that trophic level. Basically, they are better to understand.
Why can't an energy pyramid be inverted?
The biomass of the primary producers is being consumed so fast (by the primary consumers) that the standing crop appears to be smaller that the primary consumer in a pyramid of biomass. If the same data was plotted on an annual biomass ecological pyramid then the usual pattern would be oberved.
How is solar energy helpful?
We need solar energy so that we can stop polluting our environment and prevent global warming. Solar Energy is also used in Farms to power up the Solar Cells to then convert the Solar Energy to Electricity and the Electricity heats up the Green House keeping the plants warm.
What are 3 renewable energy sources?
Renewable energy sources are sources that will not run out three examples are; Solar power, Wind powers (using windmills) and using water (an example would be a dam)
Why is biomass better than other energy resources?
it is the most versatile
Why is wind power better than biomass?
Wind Energy Is a Purest Form Of Energy Source.
Why is solar energy better than thermal energy?
solar energy is better than thermal energy as it is an easy and convenient method solar energy is non polluting therefore it is better than thermal energy because thermal energy cause very much pollution and it is costly also but solar energy do not cause pollution and as we are obtaining it from sun so it is cheap also

Why is biomass better than coal?
biomass can be regrown quickly
Is solar energy better than fuel?
Yes,it is cleaner than fuel. It's better for the earth.
How is solar energy better than gas?
yes because solar energy can be used all day while gas has to be refilled
Is having solar panels better than electricity?
yes saves energy yes its save you money and energy but solar panels are expensive....

Is biomass cheaper than solar power?
Yes or no i dnt know
Name 2 sources of renewable energy?
These resources include: * wood (as a material) * water (as a material) * Crops (food, fiber, meat, fish, etc.) * Solar energy (Solar electric and solar thermal) * Geothermal energy * Biomass energy (cellulose, methane) That's more than 2
Is biomass better than nuclear?
YES......For obvious reasons=biomass is renewable!=
