The other reason why it is not possible for it to replace fossil feuls is that renewable energy is not reliable. It relays heavily on the wheather condition‚ rain‚ sunshine‚ wind etc. These wheather condition is something that people cannot control‚ without sunshine‚ solar pannels cannot generate energy.

Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy: The major benefit of solar is avoiding green house gases that fossil fuels produce. The first and foremost advantage of solar energy is that it does not emit any greenhouse gases. Solar energy is produced by conducting the sun’s radiation – a process void of any smoke‚ gas‚ or other chemical by-product. This is the main driving force behind all green energy technology‚ as nations attempt to meet climate change obligations in curbing emissions. Italy’s

Causes of Air Pollution In the world nowadays‚ there are many new inventions have invented. They are including cars‚ motorcycles‚ electronic gadgets and the machines that use the burning of fossil fuel. Instead of the benefits of these new inventions‚ there are many disadvantages‚ too. There are two main reasons that cause air pollution. One of the main causes of air pollution is manufacturing. This source of pollution spews particulate matter and chemicals into the atmosphere. The particulate

rain can fall in many different ways and has many effects on the environment. Acid rain is caused by air pollutants in the atmosphere. These air pollutants are mainly from man made resources such as factories and automobiles. The burning of fossil fuels is also one of the biggest factors that pollutes the air and causes acid rain. The primary emissions from man made resources are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The rain actually becomes acidic when the water molecules in the air mix with

is very important? Or not at all? So is it necessary to encourage the use of renewable energy? The existing fossil fuels are running out. The usage of fuel increases year on year. Clearly fossil fuel reserves are finite - it’s only a matter of when they run out. According to CIA World Factbook. We consume globally every year the equivalent of over 11 billion tonnes of oil in fossil fuels. Crude oil reserves are vanishing at the rate of 4 billion tonnes a year . If we carry on at this rate our

Non renewable sources Are used in thermal power stations to produce heat energy that turns water into steam. The steam drives turbines and in turn drives the generators that produce electrical energy.
