Your Questions About Renewable Energy Sources

Susan asks…
I have NO idea how to start my report on renewable energy sources?
Can someone please help me with an intro and what I should talk about. I have to compare 3 types of renewable energy sources. I already chose geothermal energy but I need two more, which 2 are also the best?
I have no idea how to start it, should I start talking about one source or introduce them all together? HELP PLEASE
admin answers:
Talk about all 3 in your intro then in your body paragraphs talk about about each one separately. Some other ideas: cars running on water, Solar Panels, wind power
hope i helped

what is the most common and renewable energy sources?
admin answers:
It all comes from the sun, directly or indirectly and it varies with where you are. If you are in the NE USA, around the fall line, water power is feasible. If you happen to be around Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, solar panels would be ideal. That area gets the most insolation on Earth. Not a good spot for river power, though. Tidal power works well if you are along the ocean and nearer the poless than the equator, as in the Bay of Fundy. Wind power is dependable on the Great Plains and id dependent on local topography to a large extent.

Donna asks…
What are some sites that show statistics for fossil fuels/renewable energy sources?
I’m looking for sites that contain statistics, charts, diagrams of how much fossil fuels countries use, and how much progress they’ve made in using renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear power.
admin answers:
Here’s a site, but it only shows statistics for US, the site has many pie charts:

John asks…
Why do we rely so much on fossil fuels today, instead of renewable energy sources?
Why do we rely so much on fossil fuels today, instead of renewable energy sources?
admin answers:
Fossil fuels have been relatively cheap for the last two hundred years. Only recently has the true cost been appreciated. Until the greenhouse gas problem was discovered, nobody assumed that there was any cost to dumping carbon dioxide into the air. That is, the fossil fuel users have assumed that the disposal of the exhaust gases was free.
The other point is that a lot of the renewable sources of energy require high technology, e.g., hydroelectric dams, advanced windmills and solar electric generating systems.
