renewable - Wind power - cheap, available, enviromentally friendly & does not run out. Disadvantage - has to be windy/exposed, initial cost of setting up, can be considered unsightly\nTidal - Cheap, enviromentally friendly, available around the world & does not run out. Disadvantage - cost of setting up, small return for initial investment, suitable locations\nSolar - available, enviromentally friendly, relatively cheap after installation. Disadvantages - Cost of setting up, sunny location needed, storing power\nNon Renewable - Nuclear - reliable, clean, economic. Disadvantage - enviromental hazard, safety, disposal of waste\nFossil fuel Coal & gas - widely available, relatively cheap, established technology.

Renewable resources include such energies as wind, solar (sun) power, geothermal (heat from the ground) and hydro (water).  They are beneficial for the Earth because they do not produce harmful emissions and can, theoretically, last forever.  They are often considered a hindrance (or just annoying) to society because they are rarely cheap to harness (or at least not cheaper than fossil fuels) and a suitable infrastructure is not properly in place for such energies.\n\nNon-renewable resources, on the other hand, include such energies as fossil fuels (this is turned from crude oil into gasoline), natural gases (burnt in many processes for energy), wood (this is considered non-renewable if the rate at which it is used is greater than the rate at which it is created), coal (burnt in many processes for energy) and pretty much any Hydrocarbon.  Non-renewable resources are considered useful and valuable because they are generally cheap to use and have been used throughout history.  For this reason, the infrastructure around non-renewable resources is substantially greater than that of its renewable counterpart.  These energies cause a greater problem than they solve because went used, they produce harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide.  These chemicals are detrimental to one’s health and are a contributing factor in the Greenhouse Effect (the leading cause of global warming in the world).\n\nObviously, renewable resources pose a brighter prospect for the future.\n\nI hope this was an informative answer!

try looking up "nuclear" energy..you will find more info i am sure.

A renewable energy source is one that can be "renewed" , or can be produced again. Examples are wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal. Non-renewable energy comes from sources that cannot be created again, such as petrolium and coal.\nOur world is now looking for new renewable energy sources to take the place of nonrenewables when they run out.

Sugar, water, wind, sunlight.  Brazil is currently making fuel out of sugar for vehicles.  Iceland will be running all of their vehicles on hydrogen, in the next 20 years, and all of their energy sources are currently being harnessed on natural water sources such as thermo-heated water sources that drives massive turbines.  In Palm Springs, CA. they use wind farms to generate electricity.  And solar power could be harnessed cheaply by most nations on Earth to supply energy.

There is a lot of possibilities starting from the simplest one which is wind generator.  More complicated would be water generation where a usually dam is build and potential energy of the water accumulated behind the dam moves water through turbines and generates power. Some other may include thermal energy of the earth. If you drill deep enough you will get to the earth crust zone where temperature is high to produce steam and this steam is converted (generated) into the electric power. Ocean waves are also source to generate energy.

"Renewable energy (sources) or RES capture their energy from existing flows of energy, from on-going natural processes, such as sunshine, wind, flowing water, biological processes, and geothermal heat flows. The most common definition is that renewable energy is from an energy resource that is replaced rapidly by a natural process such as power generated from the sun or from the wind.\n\nMost renewable forms of energy, other than geothermal and tidal power, ultimately come from the sun. Some forms are stored solar energy such as rainfall and wind power which are considered short-term solar-energy storage, whereas the energy in biomass is accumulated over a period of months, as in straw, or through many years as in wood. Capturing renewable energy by plants, animals and humans does not permanently deplete the resource. Fossil fuels, while theoretically renewable on a very long time-scale, are exploited at rates that may deplete these resources in the near future (see: Hubbert peak).\n\nRenewable energy resources may be used directly, or used to create other more convenient forms of energy. Examples of direct use are solar ovens, geothermal heating, and water- and windmills. Examples of indirect use which require energy harvesting are electricity generation through wind turbines or photovoltaic cells (PV cells), or production of fuels such as ethanol from biomass (see alcohol as a fuel). A parameter sometimes used in renewable energy is the tonne of oil equivalent (toe). This is equal to 10,000 Mcal or 41,868 MJ of energy.[1]\n\nIn a sense, renewable energy may be categorised as free energy, although most renewable energy sources would not normally be called "free energy". In engineering, free energy means an energy source available directly from the greater environment and which cannot be expected to be depletable by humans. Renewable energy development is concerned with the use of renewable energy sources by humans. For aspects of renewable energy use in modern societies see Renewable energy development. Modern interest in renewable energy development is linked to concerns about exhaustion of fossil fuels and environmental, social and political risks of extensive use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. For a general discussion, see future energy development"

It is a non-renewable fossil fuel.  Oil and natural gas are also fossil fuels.

probably you mean ELECTRICITY.\noil and petroleum could be used to produce electricity. There is such a thing as electrical energy.

do something on alternative energy or fuel sources. or hybrid machines.

Solar energy is the best energy in my view .With the help of this solar energy we can use solar cookers,solar lamps,solar geasers\nsolar heaters, solar refregirators etc

Solar is the most efficient, available, reliable, and simple form of alternative energy at about .37/kwh. but it has one big disadvantage... You can't put it in your gas tank.

All of this are plus gas,petrol and nuclear energy. Water, wind and sun are called renewable energy resources.

Power from fuel cells,\n\nGreenery all around\n\nInstant CO2 recycling\n\nInstant Sewage treatment.\n\nWhat else ????????????????

Several.\n\nGeo-thermal is one of the best.  Basically, this is power derived from the heat of the earth.  Unfortunately, there are few places where this can be used.  Iceland, is a prime location for geothermal energy and they use it most effectively.\n\nWind Power:  quickly gaining in popularity, these are windmill powered turbines.\n\nSolar Power:  The sun is an excellent source of power.  Unfortunately, solar cells have been typically expensive to produce.  \n\nFuel Cells.  President Bush's pet project is to store hydrogen and use that as fuel.  Unfortunately there are some problems not mentioned by the president.  Hydrogen is the simplest element (smallest atom).  This makes it extremely easy to escape whatever container we put it in.  If you fill your cars fuel cell and let it sit for a couple of weeks, you will have an empty cell.  You need a lot of hydrogen to provide power.   You might need a bigger fuel cell than what is commonly suggested.  You might need a hydrogen tank the size of a car in order to go the distance usually provided in a sterotypical gas tank.  Benefits:  hydrogen is common and burns clean.\n\nNuclear power.  The big boogieman power source.  The sad truth is, we will have to expand nuclear power to keep up with demand if we reduce our fossil fuel consumption.  It's a necessary evil.\n\nTidal power:  Using wave action to provide power along coastal regions.  There are several of these types of power plants.\n\nHydroelectric:  using falling water from waterfalls, dams for fast moving rivers to power turbines.  One  of the best loved methods of producing "clean" power.  Drawbacks include altering the environmet and seriously affecting fish spawning.  Salmon populations have dropped enormously.
