What are 2 sustainable form of energy?
Renewable or “green” energy sources, including wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower, are the most sustainable. Wind and solar power are generally considered the most sustainable because wind turbines and solar panels can be used almost anywhere in the world without significantly changing the natural landscape.
Is coal a sustainable energy source?
Coal is a non-renewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form.
Is hydro energy sustainable?
Hydro is a renewable energy source and has the advantages of low greenhouse gas emissions, low operating costs, and a high ramp rate (quick response to electricity demand), enabling it to be used for either base or peak load electricity generation, or both.
What are the best sources of energy?
Sustainable energy sources are the best sources of energy for our homes and businesses, because they are not only renewable but are also frequently developed closer to the end-user than are traditional power plants. Many are already making the move to solar, wind, and other sources of sustainable energy.
How can we make energy more sustainable?
Industry and domestic users of energy use it more efficiently (ie stop wasting it). MEDCs start to switch from fossil fuels to alternative sources. As LEDCs start to use more energy they are encouraged to develop more sustainable sources of energy.
What is the world’s largest source of sustainable energy?
Responsible for 16% of total global energy production, hydropower is currently the world’s largest source of sustainable energy. Hydropower refers to the use of water’s movement as a medium for energy generation.
What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources?
Renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy are generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel sources. However, some renewable energy projects, such as the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The role of non-renewable energy sources has been controversial.
