Which energy source is least likey to run out in the next 200 years?
Ethanol, hydroelectricity, and solar power are renewable resources that are not likely to run out in the next 200 years.
What energy sources is least likely to run out in the next 200 years?

Match the energy source in column 1 to its characteristic in column 2. A. Hydrogen Can only operate near rivers B. Solar power Harnesses the energy of the sun directly C. Natural gas Uses a fuel cell?
Nuclear- the largest no fossil fuel source in the world Oil- may run out in the next 100 years Hydroelectricity- uses running water solar power-uses energy directly from the sun
Why is the solar energy source renewable?
The solar energy source is the sun. As far as humans are concerned, the sun will always be there, unchanging. Every new day you can go out and get some more sunshine (if not too cloudy), so that fits my understanding of a renewable source-one that will never run out. Of course the sun will eventually run out, probably exploding and burning up the earth completely. Mankind will disappear unless we have emigrated to another solar system. However that is way way in the future, and as far as we are concerned, for the next few million years, solar energy is here to stay.
Is there a battery that never dies?

Is solar energy reliable?
The Sun is scheduled to remain shining as at present for the next several billion years. Solar energy is dependent on the Sun's rays reaching the solar panel, so on cloudy days the panels produce very much less power, although they do produce a little, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize.But the point about solar energy is that every unit or kWh of electricity produced by solar contributes to the pool of power, to the extent that 1 kg of carbon dioxide is not emitted by the local fossil-fuelled power plant.
How long would it take US to undergo transition of fossil fuels to solar energy?
A world that uses only renewable energy sources is a long way into the future. Solar energy use in the US has been increasing. The rapid increase in oil prices in 2008 motivated many people to look closer at alternatives, including solar energy. Also, solar energy is a non-polluting source of energy. Forecasts of how much of our energy will come from solar energy can vary greatly. I have included a link to the US Department of Energy's website, which shows that in terms of power generation, solar energy accounts for only 0.11 of the 383.16 billion kilowatts of energy. By 2030, it is forecasted that this energy source will provide 0.94 billion kw of energy, a very small fraction of our total energy needs. Hydroelectric is the largest source of renewable energy, followed by wind power. So, we have begun to increase consumption of renewable fuels. That's the good news. But it is still forecasted that our energy needs will rise in the next 11 years, and much of that will come from non-renewable sources. I have included a spreadsheet from the DOE website, which you will need to have Excel on your computer. Also, you will have to maximize the spreadsheet by clicking on the small square icon. You can calculate the percentage increases each year in the various sources of energy.
How does solar energy could impact people in the future?
The sun gives off a few billion wats per second. If solar power went mainstream, then the world would be set on energy for the next billion years until the sun explodes.
What is the biggest source of energy on earth?
The sun, followed by fossil fuels and different kinds of materials. Fusion would be the next step in a source of energy for humans to use, but all methods used for fusion so far have failed to give a significant amount of energy output.
Can the sun burn out because of the over use of Solar Power?
No. The sun gives out enormous amounts of energy whether we use it or not. Of that energy, only a tiny percentage makes its way to Earth and we only need a small portion of the energy that reaches Earth for solar power. In other words, the use of solar power does not affect the sun in any way. The sun will eventually die no matter what we do, but it had enough hydrogen to keep going as it is for the next five billion years.

Can you get power from solar power even when there is a blackout?
Yes, you should be able to use energy from solar panels, even when there is no electricity in your area, depending on how much power has been stored by your panels. Also, some solar panels combine there power with that of your normal electrical power and, in that case, you might not be able to. In short, in really just depends on your situation. I would suggest trying it next time your area power is out.
