What is a renewable and non renewable energy?

Renewable = which can be used again eg. wind, water, energy from sun.Non-renewable = which cannot be used again eg. coal, petroleum.Renewable energy is the direction we should be heading in, this will not only clean up the environment but create millions of green jobs too. It's time people participated in the discussion on green energy and adopted it in a big way.renewable resources are resources that... can.. be renewed. such as water, carbon, coconuts, etc.. nonrenewable resources are resources that cannot be replaced anymore. such as petroleum, etc..Nonrenewable energy is energy that can not be replenished in a short period of time, such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas)Renewable energy is energy from natural resources that can be replenished in a short period of time, such as solar, wind, tidal and geothermal energy.As for nuclear energy, it is debatable. According to the definitions above it is clear that nuclear energy is nonrenewable. However, on the other side it may be considered almost as renewable energy source because of:The availability of tremendous resources of uraniumThe availability of producing nuclear fuel ( plutonium and uranium-233) in some nuclear reactor types (fast and thermal breeder reactors) that may exceed the consumed nuclear fissile fuel.The prospects of the nuclear fusion as source of energy (although by definition is nonrenewable energy source) which could add high potentials to nuclear energy resources.


Do consumers get their energy from consumers?

Consumers typically get their energy from energy companies or utilities that generate and distribute electricity, gas, or other sources of energy. Consumers pay for the energy they use through their utility bills.


How is wind renewable?

Wind is renewable because it is generated by the sun's uneven heating of Earth's surface, creating air movement. Wind turbines convert this kinetic energy into electricity without depleting finite resources. As long as the sun shines and Earth exists, the wind will continue to be renewed.


What is energy stored for use at a later time?

Energy stored for use at a later time is often referred to as potential energy. This type of energy can be stored in various forms such as chemical energy in batteries, gravitational potential energy in objects lifted off the ground, or elastic potential energy in stretched rubber bands.


Why is it bad to use renewable resources for energy?

NO renewable energy is a good idea! Renewable means that it can be replaced so if we dont use renewable energy soon we'll be in deep trouble, and also renewable energy doesn't emit CO2, a greenhouse gas

What ancient renewable resource can be used to create energy?

Renewable resources are resources that are not expected to run out, any time soon at least. Some examples are solar energy, tidal energy and geothermal energy.


WHAT DOES RENEWABLE AND NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES MEAN?

Non renewable energy is energy that you will soon run out on. For exemple Nuclear energy. Renewable energy is energy that you can kept on using and it will never run out! For example Solar energy, Biomass and Wind turbines. These are only a few!

How are renewable and nonrenewable energy different?

Yes, nonrenewable and renewable sources are different - very different. For example, nonrenewable sources such as fossil fuels harm the environment and will run out soon. Green renewable sources are good for the environment such as solar energy. It comes from the sun. That is why it is called solar energy.

Why must new resources of energy be found?

Because soon the world will run out of fossil fuels, and no energy will be generated therefore we have to make new options of tidal energy or geothermal energy etc. - geothermal energy is probably the best source as CO2 is bare and the method of this is not expensive and not hard to make. This is why everyday we should be more energy efficient and start saving!
