Renewable energy sources like solar and wind power produce electricity without emitting carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. By using renewable energy, we can reduce our carbon footprint and help combat global warming.
Carbon capture has many benefits associated with it. The biggest benefits are its use as a renewable source of energy that also is healthy for the environment.
The Zero Carbon tariff is available for both gas and electricity customers of British Gas. Customers choosing this tariff can support renewable energy sources and help reduce carbon emissions associated with their energy consumption.
A renewable source of energy (sunlight, wind or water power, etc) is an better option to generate electricity because it is a natural source of energy and renews itself again and again. It also releases no carbon dioxide pollution into the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.A:Renewable energy sources are much better in the long run. Renewable energy sources never run out. We can constantly use renewable energy sources however non-renewable energy sources will run out eventually with consistent consumption. A great example of a renewable energy sources is solar power. We will never run out of energy from the sun. A:They are important because they can be replenished and they do not harm our environment and they are eco-friendly
The better option would be Renewable Energy, because if all the energy we used was renewable, there would be no need for a Carbon Tax. They are both different things. A carbon tax is designed to make big industry polluters reduce their carbon emissions. Renewable energy produces electricity from sources like solar, wind, hydro-electric, geothermal and biofuel. All these provide power without adding to global warming.
Some effective ways to offset your carbon footprint include reducing energy consumption, using public transportation or carpooling, supporting renewable energy sources, planting trees, and purchasing carbon offsets.

Because renewable sources have no carbon emissions and are thus not causing global warming.
Renewable energy sources are generally carbon emission free, that is, they emit no carbon dioxide (apart from their construction). Present energy sources are mainly fossil fuels, which, when burnt, release carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. If we can switch from fossil energy to renewable energy then we have the global warming problem fixed (if we do it quickly enough).
Renewable in the environmental sense, yes. Why? Because sources of the required carbon mineral used as a raw material is easily available and itself is renewable.
Renewable energy sources are important because they are clean. They release no carbon dioxide, so they have no effect on global warming. Our continued reliance on fossil fuels for energy is harming the environment.

Using renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power does not increase carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere because they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions during operation. This helps to combat climate change by reducing the overall carbon footprint associated with energy production.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable so have a finite supply. This means that they will eventually run out. They also produce carbon dioxide when burnt which contributes towards global warming. Renewable sources do not pollute the atmosphere and do not run out. Therefore renewable sources are better for the environment, but fossil fuels give more energy per mass. Which is better depends on what you look for, environment and sustainability or high density of energy. Renewable energy still gives out sufficient energy, so renewable sources are better.
Renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, wave, hydro, geothermal) have a low environmental impact. They typically have a carbon footprint during their manufacture, which is compensated for adequately during the first period of their lives.Non-renewable sources of energy, like fossil fuels, have a high environmental impact. They typically emit carbon dioxide emissions of greenhouse gas which are the main cause of global warming.
Carbon changes from gas, to liquid, to solid form, and never disappears, so in that sense it is renewable.
Because, the fuels gleaned would be from renewable sources! Renewable energy is at least carbon-neutral adding no additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.
Renewable energy sources are Carbon neutral, that is, they do not destroy the environment by increasing the Carbon-dioxide content in the atmosphere. They help control the effects of Global Warming and Climate Change. Renewable energy sources also provide energy security. With the scarcity and rising prices of petroleum, alternate sources of energy have to be looked at to avoid economic slowdown. Renewable energy provides new avenues of employment opportunities and helps to diversify the energy industry. Renewable energy permits localised generation or decentralised generation eliminating transmission and distribution losses. This also enables consumers to export/sell surplus energy generated to the grid and this acts as an additional income to the consumer.
