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:
no its a renewable source of energy
Non-renewable energy sources do not include solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. These sources are considered renewable because they can be naturally replenished in a relatively short period of time.
non-renewable, because once it is gone you cannot get it back.
Some vocabulary terms related to energy include kinetic energy, potential energy, renewable energy, and non-renewable energy.
Yes, coal is a non-renewable energy source. We use it faster than it is produced
Renewable energy can't run out. Non-renewable energy WILL run out. Renewable energy is produced at a constant rate, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy is free when the generator is built, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy does not cause pollution (with the exception of biofuels), non-renewable energy does.
non renewable energy
renewable source of energy can be regenerated but non-renewable source of energy can not be regenerated.
Renewable
Coal is a non-renewable resource.
no its a renewable source of energy
It depends where it comes from. Energy from solar, wind, water etc is renewable. Energy from burning fossil fuel is non-renewable.
non renewable
No, solar energy is renewable.
it depends what kind of energy it is
The most popular renewable energy sources currently are: Solar energy. Wind energy. Hydro energy. Tidal energy. Geothermal energy. Biomass energy.
Fossil fuels are a non-renewable energy source.
