What are the different types of non-renewable energy?

- Fossil fuel energy sources (coal-natural gas - petroleum - wood) - Nuclear energy sources (fission - fusion). Nuclear energy may be considered as renewable energy source.


What is the opposite of fossil fuels called?

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power are considered the opposite of fossil fuels. These sources are considered sustainable and have lower environmental impacts compared to fossil fuels.


Is power stations energy renewable?

No, power stations that use fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are not considered renewable sources of energy because these resources are finite and can be depleted. Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, can be replenished naturally and are considered more sustainable in the long term.


Is fossil fuel another name for non-renewable energy?

yes, fossil fuel is another name for non-renewable energy sources.


Why should fossil fuels be conserved renewable energy sources are available?

Renewable energy cannot, at present, replace fossil fuels or our use of them.


What are not considered fossil fuel?

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal energy are not considered fossil fuels. These sources come from natural processes that are replenished over time, unlike fossil fuels which are finite and come from ancient organic matter.


Energy sources other than fossil fuel are called what kind of resources?

They are called renewables. (though strictly, nuclear power is not a fossil fuel and is not renewable).They are called alternative energy sources.


What is the opposite of fossil fuels?

Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power, are considered the opposite of fossil fuels. These sources are sustainable, environmentally friendly, and do not produce greenhouse gas emissions when generating electricity.


What do you call renewable safe sources of energy?

Renewable safe sources of energy are usually referred to as clean energy sources. These include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy, which are considered environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels.


Why are renewable energy sources needed?

Because if we use renewable sources, it's with us forever. fossil fuels and non-renewable sources will run out someday.


2 main sources of energy?

The two main sources of energy are fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) and renewable energy sources (such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal). Fossil fuels are non-renewable and contribute to climate change, while renewable sources are sustainable and have a smaller environmental impact.


Is energy derived from renewable sources better than that produced from fossil fuels?

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.
