A renewable resource is something that is used today (for generating electricity), and it's still there tomorrow for generating more.
So solar power is a renewable resource. So is windpower. So is the power of water running in rivers (till they dry up), and the power of water in the tides and in the ocean waves.
GeoThermal power, using the heat from deep down in the earth, is also renewable. Biomass, the burning of recently dead vegetation is also classed as renewable.
Non-renewable sources of energy are wood (mostly), coal, oil, natural gas and uranium (nuclear power).

Hi peoplewe fit in it by steam
How do clowns fit in the small cars?
They experiment with who can fit where and how, then they practice a lot.

What is most energy efficient led lamps or bulbs?
The most efficient outdoor light bulb would the 5 watt Light emitting Diode light bulb also know as the LED bulb. They are small lights with miniature sockets or made to fit into conventional sockets.
Will 1969 dodge dart seat fit a 1971 dart?
yes you should be able to make it fit.
Are trees renewable or inexhastible?
In real terms nothing is inexhaustible, though in practical terms they may be considered so.Trees considered this way fit into either category, though most would say they are a renewable resource.
What is resource fit?
Resource Fit shows how well Resources match with the Business Unit requirements
What is Community Based Natural Resource Management?
An approach to the use of renewable natural resources that relies on the empowerment of community groups to use those resources as they see fit using strategies arrived at through consensus.
Why are solar energy and wind power considered renewable resources?
When we talk about renewable energy, we are talking about sources that can give a reasonable supply of energy for an almost indefinite amount of time. For instance, wind energy is not something that we can use up, same with solar. Resources like trees are also considered renewable, though that brings up an important point. There is a certain level of logging that we can do that is sustainable. However, if we exceed that level, we will run out of forests. Trees can only grow so fast. Most renewable energy sources will draw their energy ultimately from the sun. Solar is an obvious one. Wind comes from cold and hot air masses (the hot ones being heated by the sun). Hydro power works because of the water cycle (driven by the sun) moves water to higher elevations, and we get energy from it as it comes back down. Geothermal does not fit into this observation. Geothermal energy comes from deep within the earth, using the heat stored in the earth, not heat from the sun. Ideas for generating electricity from tidal actions would ultimately get energy from gravity and the rotation of the earth. The point of all of this is that renewable energy comes from sources that will last so long that for us, they might as well be capable of lasting forever. Not only that, but our using them for energy is not going to shorten their life span. Whether or not we take advantage of energy from the sun, it is not going to burn out any earlier than it would otherwise. Contrast this with crude oil. Although supplies are vast, they are finite, and rather small compared with other energy sources mentioned. Also, even though the supply of crude oil ultimately could be renewed, the time table for that to occur is so long, that for us, it might as well not be possible. It doesn't do us any good to wait a million years for more oil to form.
Into which of these resource groups do you fit?
human :) A+ USERS
Why do you not use wind energy all the time?
Because if you think about all the electricity oh god wind would not be enough and if by wind you meen wind things :P it is because first of all they are to much money and second ofall they are to large to fit in a backyard :p and you would need many
How many people can fit in a wind tunnel?
Wind tunnels are different sizes.
What are the electron energy levels and how many electrons fit into each?
2 can fit in the first energy level, 8 can fit in the second, and there is an infinite number that can fit in the 3rd.
Are there business in Tennessee that sell snowplows?
I couldn't find one in TN but you can order them to fit on your vehicle from an online resource. The online resource I recommend is; www.buysnowsportplows.com .
What are the types of conventional energy source?
Conventional sources of energy are what would also be described as fossil fuels and also nuclear. The "Non" conventional sources are usually renewables eg wind. Conventional sources (Large power stations) Nuclear Coal Oil Gas Peat / Lignite Non Conventional (Usually smaller) Tidal Wave Wind Solar PV Solar Thermal
What happen when an atom has more electrons that can fit in one energy level?
An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.
How you can modify the wind vane to detect the speed of wind?
You fit it with 3 cups that revolve with the wind from any direction and record the velocity through a cable to a gauge. This is called an "anemometer"
