Yes, fundamentally geothermal energy is NOT a renewable resource. The souge heat for geothermal energy is the heat from Earth's core (caused by the fission of heavy, radioactive isotopes). This heat is dissipating and will not be renewed. Also where geothermal energy is extracted, the turnover rate in the crustal rocks is so slow that the heat source is quickly cooled to the point of exhaustion. (Note, highly volcanic areas are an exception to this).

Is electrival energy a Renewable Energy?

electrical energy can be derived from a renewable or non renewable source. It itself cannot be classed as renewable as such because capacitors to store the energy are not 100% efficient in converting back to electrical energy


What are facts about renewable and non renewable energy?

Renewable energy is less harmful to the environment compared to Non renewable energy.Some renewable energies include solar,Geothermal,wind,water and biomass,which can be made up of sewage.** Some non renewable energies are coal, natural gas,oil and nuclear.


Can renewable energy and non-renewable energy can be used at the same time?

Answer : YES Renewable power sources and non-renewable power souces are both used to generate electricity, which is then transfered through the 'power grid' (power lines) to different houses. Electricity generated from renewable sources is not different in any way to electricity generated by non-renewable sources. Therefore, they can both be used at the same t5ime


Which energy sources are non renewable?

Non-renewable energy sources include fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as nuclear power. These sources are finite and cannot be easily replenished over short time periods.


Is kerosene renewable?

Yes However some consider uranium as a fossil fuel for being extracted through mining and in the mean time they consider nuclear energy (using uranium as its fuel) is rebewable energy source for the possibility of producing more fuel (through breeders) than the consumed fissile fuel.

Why renewable resource is best?

Renewable energy can't run out. Non-renewable energy WILL run out. Renewable energy is produced at a constant rate, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy is free when the generator is built, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy does not cause pollution (with the exception of biofuels), non-renewable energy does.
