Is electricity energy renewable or not?

Answer 1

Everywhere! A little...To varying degrees (and mostly not very large), everywhere in the world! Although most of the world runs on fossil fuels, people in all corners of the world use renewable energy sources to some extent.

mainly farms

Answer 2

renewable energy is applicable to specific states that are included in the new deregulation law of the US Energy Department. For more information on incentives and rebates you can get from the US Government in turning your electricity to renewable energy please visit our website. (see related links)

Answer 3

Solar energy (energy from the sun) for example, is considered a renewable energy resource, but it is not technically truly renewable, as the sun will eventually run out. So some renewable energy resources aren't actually "renewable" in the strictest sense of the word.

However, the sun is expected to last another several billion years, and it's pouring out the energy whether we bother to use it or not, so whether it's technically renewable or not is a minor quibble.

Answer 4

A renewable energy source is one in which we are able to rebuild the source quickly. Corn based Ethanol is considered a renewable energy source.

There are also alternative energy sources that collect energy from our sun in the form of direct sunlight or the effects, through wind. Solar Voltaic and Wind produce less energy then the equipment that they use to generate the power costs to create, so they are not true energy sources in the strictest sense of the word. They are awesome for use in boats where wind is plentiful or on spacecraft where connections to real power sources are not possible. Extremist groups are pushing these power sources anyway in the hope that someday they will be able to provide real energy.

The next group is alternative energies that actually produce power. These include geothermal and hydroelectric. They use natural flows and energy stored within our planet. They produce real power and are environmentally much better then wind and solar.

Nuclear is the top dog as far as true and clean power that we could be using. It produces very little real waste and is extremely environmentally friendly. In terms if actual fuel a nuclear powered carrier uses roughly a dime sized piece of fuel for twenty years of operation. Extreme groups have managed to create issues with waste from these sites by making laws so tight that water leaving the power plants in some countries must be 10 times cleaner then the water entering it. Most modern countries get large portion of their power from this form of energy. The U.S.A. is an exception there.

Answer 5

power that can be re-used, such as solar energy.

Answer 6

It depends on how the electricity is produced. A coal burning electrical plant is not renewable energy, whereas a hydroelectric power plant or windmill do generate renewable power.

Answer 7

A renewable resource is something that can be replaced in a short amount of time.
