Worse in what respect? Renewable energy is generally much better environmentally, but usually costs more than non-renewable. Non-renewable energy from coal, oil, and natural gas causes both air and water pollution, and greenhouse gases. Renewable energy from windmills interferes with the habitat and migration of birds and bats, hydro power diverts spawning patterns and can lead to flooding, nuclear generates dangerous waste, biomass can likewise release toxic substances, geothermal is efficient but extraordinarily costly. That pretty much leaves solar, which still has a long way to go in regard to efficiency, but progress is being made there. The decision which is better ultimately depends upon your needs, your resources, your location, and your environmental awareness.
