fuels and natural gases everyone uses to provide electricity and power. What will happen when these resources run out? There are resources everyone can use to substitute the non-renewable resources. Renewable Energy Technology is important because the world right now relies on fossil fuels and nuclear power to make electricity. Depending on fossil fuels and nuclear power is hazardous to the climate and can be very unhealthy. Wind‚ Solar‚ Bio-energy and Geo-thermal are renewable energy resources

Photovoltaics‚ Wind‚ Hydro‚ Tidal/Wave and Bioenergy (including Biomass‚ Biogas and Biofuels). As with fossil fuels the sun ’s energy is the ultimate source of these energies. Non-renewable energy A non-renewable resource is made up of mostly dead animal skin. The skin then turns into a resource such as oil. Also considered non-renewable are resources that are consumed much faster than nature can create them. Fossil fuels (such as coal‚ petroleum‚ and natural gas)‚ nuclear power (uranium) and

energy is energy from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ these resources are naturally replenished. Renewable energy does not harm the environment or deplete any of our natural resources like fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not subject to sharp price changes because it comes from natural resources. Biomass is currently the largest U.S. renewable energy source with more than two hundred existing bio power plants providing energy for one point five million American

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

Since the earth created creatures‚ those creatures depended on the heat and light of the sun‚ band also human beings knew to dry the objects in the sunlight‚ by which they kept food‚ such as salt-making and drying of salted fish‚ etc. But with the reduction of fossil fuel resources‚ then people are disposed to develop solar energy further. The methods of solar energy using include passive use (solar-thermal conversion) and photoelectric conversion . Solar power is a new

The problem of clean energy plants is‚ that they are not really efficient and storable‚ moreover they need to satisfy certain geographical prerequisites.

Not only does it destroy the environment‚ mountaintop removal also devastates the health of the people who live near these sites. Wind turbine technology exists to alleviate the harmful effects of this process‚ but is being met with whiplash from coal company lobbyists who are trying to protect the companies’ financial gains. Coal sludge accounts for most of the negative effects

major forms of renewable energy are solar energy‚ wind energy and biomass energy (Bio Fuels). Each type of renewable energy has advantages and disadvantages which are specific to that type of alternative energy. For example Solar and Wind are intermittent in nature while Geothermal Energy has no such problems however Geothermal Energy suffers from a lack of good sites and takes a long time to become installed. Plus cost too is a major factor. Solar Power has been the fastest rising energy cause in the
