They generate electrical energy without also generating carbon dioxide, like other power plants.

The amount of energy they generate is very small compared to other power plants, though, so they do not have much effect.

Can you fix the mess of global warming before its to late?

It is possible to stop Global warming but it will be hard and everyone on earth has to help. All we really have to do is produce less carbon dioxide which is created from burning fossil fuels. We can help by using the car and electronics less or turning of lights and the TV or computer whenever we are not using them. Major ways to help such as building more wind turbines would be an even better way to help though.


Does standby affect global warming?

Yes, leaving electronic devices on standby mode can contribute to global warming because they still consume energy when in this mode. This leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions from the power plants generating that electricity, contributing to global warming. It is recommended to unplug devices entirely when not in use to reduce energy consumption and combat climate change.


What are some things being done to fix global warming?

Global warming is being dealt with through the modifications that people engage in. Recycling, choosing energy efficient products, and opting for better options like refurbished cartridges is certainly a great way to stay on the right path towards a better world.


How can you fix the energy issue?

The world needs massive amounts of energy, but most of this is from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which is causing global warming. We need to move entirely to non-polluting renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, biofuel and hydrogen), which will fix the problem.


Is it too late to fix global warming?

Considering that the warmer temperature is melting the permafrost and releasing huge amounts of methane, the change in sea temperature is changing the climate patterns causing drought, the ocean levels have risen it may well be too late. The best we can hope for is to adjust to a new "normal" that isn't too hard on our species.


Why would be good to fix the problem of global warming?

Global warming is causing climate change, which will mean sea level rises, flooding of coastal cities and croplands, disappearance of Pacific Island countries, drought and famine in many parts of the world. The habitats of animals, birds and of humans will be severely changed, and those who can't move or adapt will die. So it would be good to fix the problem.


Do people these days care about global warming?

Most people are very aware of global warming. Many people are even trying to do something about global warming by riding bikes and other activities which reduce their "carbon footprint".


What are the down falls of solar power?

We (the u.s) don't have a good grid, which is the way electricity is moved to where it needs to go. To make a new grid or fix the old grid it will take lots of money. If we are using wind turbines, then electricity will have to be transported to places where there is not a lot of wind.


What is global warming and what can you do to fix the problem?

Global warming is the gradual warming of the earth that has been happening over the past 200 years. It is caused by the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. It is also caused by deforestation, where we cut down great forests all over the world that used to absorb carbon dioxide as they grew. To fix the problem we have to stop burning fossil fuels. The only way we can do this is if we begin to use renewable energy, solar, wind, geothermal etc. These all produce electricity without any carbon emissions. We can use as much electricity as we want if it is all generated from renewable energy. Enough sunshine falls on the earth in one day to power the whole world for a year!


Should the Vice President have dismissed jack's claims because of the costs to fix the problems with global warming?

No, the Vice President should not dismiss Jack's claims. Addressing the problems with global warming is crucial for the well-being of the planet, and the costs of fixing these issues should not be a deterrent. It is important to take action to combat climate change for the sake of future generations.
