Renewable Energy

Renewable energy sources are sustainable and do not deplete natural resources. They help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Additionally, they create jobs and promote energy independence.

Because renewable sources can be replenished

because we will not run out of them

Geothermal energy is most likely to be found near a volcano. Volcanoes are associated with intense heat that can be harnessed to generate electricity through geothermal power plants. This renewable energy resource relies on the heat beneath the Earth's surface to produce steam that drives turbines.

There is no difference. Renewable energy is also called green and clean because it emits no carbon dioxide.

Non-renewable energy sources like fossil fuels can only be used once and release carbon when they are burnt.

The answer above is partly correct. Renewable energies are energies which need no fuel to create them.

However Clean energies are ones that don't emit any greenhouse gases/toxic chemicals, this can be renewables, or it could also be things such as nuclear fusion which is currently being developed, it emits no nuclear waste or greenhouse gases.

Geothermal energy takes advantage of heat stored beneath the Earth's surface in the form of hot water and steam. This heat is generated from the natural radioactive decay of minerals deep within the Earth, and can be harnessed to generate electricity or for direct use in heating applications.

No.

None of the fossil fuels are.

There's actually no such thing as "renewable" energy by basic physics, but those forms so-called are effectively inexhaustible in human terms, and that would be the better adjective.

Wood and other plants approach it, if farmed and cropped properly, and some work has been carried out on crop-woods to feed gasifiers to fuel internal-combustion engine driven alternators. The main by-product is charcoal, plus some wood-tar, both of potential value.

When you see the R- word bandied about so glibly you realise just how ignorant so many people really are of basic science, despite using all sort of modern inventions powered by electricity!

The Edinburgh Journal of Science first wrote geothermal in 1830. It's a variant of geothermic by Elise C. Otté in 1858 and geothermisch by Alexander von Humboldt in 1832.

In short: no.

Geothermal energy harnessing is still in its infancy compared to wind energy, and therefore, more expensive. Overall geothermal energy has been done on a very small scale, but technological breakthroughs need to occur before it can be successfully worldwide.

Then again, with the U.S. energy industry being deregulated, wind energy can be more expensive than other energy types. For instance, when I lived in western Arkansas, I used OG&E as my energy provider, and they offered wind power for just 4.5 cents per kilowatt hour, which was half of a conventional plan. In Texas, providers generally charge 2 cents MORE per kilowatt hour for using purely wind power than conventional.

Geothermal energy is used to heat the earth. This is done by capturing the heat from the Earth's core through geothermal power plants, which convert it into usable energy to heat buildings or generate electricity.

People can use (and have been, for hundreds of years) wind power. Wind power can turn turbines which create electricity. The same principle can be applied to water-powered turbines such as the ones found in dams. Also, there are wave-powered turbines. Another virtually renewable energy source is solar power, although technically it is not renewable as the sun will eventually burn itself out.

Another energy source being explored is the burning of ethanol, which can be created from plant matter.

Non-consumables are items of equipment that can be used for years, but may eventually have to be replaced or updated.

If we continue to rely heavily on non-renewable energy resources, such as fossil fuels, it can lead to environmental degradation, air and water pollution, and contribute to climate change through the release of greenhouse gases. This can have widespread and long-lasting impacts on ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is important to mitigate these negative effects.

Renewable resources can be replenished over time, like solar or wind energy. Inexhaustible resources are those that are unlimited in supply and will not be exhausted, like sunlight or geothermal heat. All inexhaustible resources are considered renewable, but not all renewable resources are inexhaustible.

Geothermal energy is not directly from the sun. It comes from the heat within the Earth's core due to radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium. This heat is continuously produced and used for geothermal energy generation.

Geothermal energy is found in the Earth because of the heat trapped beneath the Earth's surface, generated from radioactive decay of minerals and from the Earth's formation process. This heat is harnessed to produce electricity through geothermal power plants.

• Two holes are drilled down into the rock, often several kilometres deep, to reach very hot rock layers.
• Water is pumped down one and comes up the other, bubbling and steaming.
• This steam (or hot water) is used to spin a turbine (the same way as a coal fired power station).
• Electricity generated is fed into the grid and is sold to customers.
• The equipment needed :
  • Water, which can be reycled indefinitely.
  • A pump.
  • A turbine generator.
  • And originally, a huge drill to drill the shafts.

Renewable services are more valuable than non-renewable services because they have a lower environmental impact, are more sustainable in the long run, and help reduce dependence on finite resources. They also tend to be more cost-effective over time and contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.

NO! Taking the heat from the Earth is helping the sub surface cool at a faster rate. You might be thinking well then how is global warming happening? The atmosphere is warming up but the sub surface is cooling. We are finding more and more ways to help drive the earth to its grave.

Can it be replaced naturally or not.

In the strictest definition, no. Non-conventional means "defying ordinary logic", while renewable means "sustainable". Technically they are two different concepts.

Renewable energy sources that have existed for a very long time include water power and wood burning. These power sources are not "non-conventional", being the very first ways that people accomplished mechanical work.

By the same token, there are non-renewable energy sources that are quite non-conventional; nuclear power was extremely non-conventional when it was first invented, and many were skeptical and fearful of nuclear power at that time (and some of that sentiment lingers to this day).

The father of modern geothermal energy is thought to be Prince Piero Ginori Conti, an Italian inventor who built the first geothermal power plant in 1904 in Larderello, Italy. His work laid the foundation for the development of geothermal energy as a sustainable and renewable energy source.

The Ring of Fire. It is a region in the Pacific Ocean basin where many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to plate tectonics movements. It is known for its geothermal activity and mineral deposits.

The efficient use of energy resources in ways that maximize output or benefit is referred to as energy productivity. This involves optimizing the use and management of energy resources to achieve more with less energy input.

Porcelain is non-renewable, as it is made from natural resources such as clay, feldspar, and silica that are extracted from the earth and cannot be replenished at a fast enough rate to keep up with current demand. Transitioning to more sustainable materials like recycled porcelain or sustainable alternatives can help reduce the environmental impact of using non-renewable resources.
