How can wood be made a renewable source of energy?
Wood is renewable if new trees are grown to replace those that were cut down. The new trees absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere that the burning process produces.
Differentiate renewable from non-renewable energy?
the wind is a type of renewable energy-use it and some will come along later. once you burn coal,it's gone -certainly in your lifetime-it's non renewable. A renewable fuel is anything that can replenish at roughly the same rate we consume it. Corn used for ethanol is one example. The corn replenishes at a rate as fast as we use it. Non renewable is anything that we consume at a rate faster then we can replenish. For example, we have roughly 700 years of oil left. Once this is gone, we will not have anything left. Coal, oil, nuclear and trees are examples. Trees could be renewable if we consumed at the same or lower rate then we grew new ones to maturity.
What are some environmental reasons for using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels?
Lowers carbon emissions, reduces global warming, increases new eco jobs in the industries creating new technologies, thereby increasing growth.

What are some new sources of energy being studied in hopes that they will replace fossil fuels?
Some examples include:windsolar photovoltaicsolar thermalhydroelectricnuclear fissiongeothermaltidalocean currentwavebiomasswaste to energyThese are not really NEW as we have been using these sources for many years. Even nuclear fusion is not new.It is important to understand that Hydrogen is not an energy source. It can be used to store and distribute energy, after it has been produced by splitting water, but we can't mine Hydrogen like we do mine Coal - so it is not a source.
Is energy an resource?

Is a light bulb non renewable?
Electricity is a secondary power source. It depends on what is used to generate it. Wind, water or solar are all renewable or use little or nothing after the original manufacture of the component's.
Is soil a nonrenewable energy source?
Soil is not an energy resource. New soil is made all the time through the decomposition of vegetation. It is a renewable resource.
An example of a renewable enrgy source is?
Hi there A good example of a renewable energy is wood Burning if you are prepared to plant at least one new tree for each one you burn. Geoff Lord
What other renewable and non-renewable energy resources there are available to the new zealand government?
Renewable energy sources:Hydroelectric power accounts for 57% of the total electricity generation in New Zealandgeothermal 9%wind supplies 3% of New Zealand's demand for electricityNon-renewable energy sources:Natural gasSome coal
How long will the source of energy last?
The longevity of an energy source depends on various factors such as the rate of consumption, technological advancements, and exploration of new sources. Non-renewable sources like fossil fuels have finite reserves that are gradually being depleted, while renewable sources like solar and wind energy are essentially inexhaustible when managed sustainably. Overall, a shift towards renewable energy is crucial for long-term sustainability.

Is biomass renewable or nonrenewable?
It is a renewable source of energy because ALL vegetation gets its energy from the sun and regrows. Oil would not be an example of renewable energy because it takes millions of years to produce. It is definitely currently a renewable source of energy, but consider this. Biomass is renewable because it does not take 100,000 years or more to make it or for it to be made like oil. We can grow new crops, new trees, and they grow fast enough to use. But if we had only them would they still be renewable? It also takes a large amount of product to make biomass (like fertilizer to grow crops) and the prices go up, the more of it that is used (like the spikes in the cost for corn we have seen). Is it renewable, yes. Should it be? To an extent. If we had only that would it be like oil where we could not make enough? Of course.
Why is the solar energy source renewable?
The solar energy source is the sun. As far as humans are concerned, the sun will always be there, unchanging. Every new day you can go out and get some more sunshine (if not too cloudy), so that fits my understanding of a renewable source-one that will never run out. Of course the sun will eventually run out, probably exploding and burning up the earth completely. Mankind will disappear unless we have emigrated to another solar system. However that is way way in the future, and as far as we are concerned, for the next few million years, solar energy is here to stay.
What renewable source did the mayflower use to get to the new world?
They used wind.
