Is Electricity Renewable or Non-Renewable? How to Find out if your Electricity is Renewable or Non-Renewable

Is electricity renewable? How to find out if your electricity is renewable or non-renewable. As it currently stands, our current grid and sources of energy come from a wide variety of sources and is not limited to a single power source. To begin with, first we must determine what the renewable and non-renewable energy sources are before we can fully understand and answer this question with a degree of honesty.

In short, electricity is largely produced by power stations burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Nuclear fission can also be used to produce electricity from nuclear power plants. All these sources of energy are not renewable, which means that there is a finite, or limited amount of these fuels available in the world and when it is all used up, that’s it, there will be no more.

On the other hand, hydro, wind, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and solar power are all regarded as sustainable and renewable forms of energy because they aren’t finite and limited to available resources. We use the energy we obtain from these sources and it still keeps coming, it will not run out! Continue Reading Is Electricity Renewable or Non-Renewable?

Renewable and Non Renewable Energy Sources Explained

Renewable and Non Renewable Energy Sources Explained

Renewable and non renewable energy sources explained will help you to understand the differences between the two and determine which is better. For this explanation, we are referring to electrical energy or energy to run our vehicles, boats, and other forms of transportation. The two combined are the driving factors behind both our economy and our society as a whole, for without either we would almost be back in the dark ages so to speak.

That day will come when we will be without coal and oil, however there are alternative sources of energy available to us which we are finally beginning to utilize more of. Fossil fuels are not good for the environment so to help protect our planet, it is wise for us to move forward with alternative energy for our future energy needs.

Geothermal Energy Technology Breakthrough at Newberry Volcano, Oregon?

A Geothermal Energy Technology breakthrough may be in the making as geothermal energy developers plan to pump 24 million gallons of water into the side of Newberry Volcano, a dormant volcano in Central Oregon this summer to demonstrate new technology which they hope will give a boost to a green energy sector that has yet to live up to its promise or full potential. The technological hope is that the water comes back to the surface fast enough and hot enough to create cheap, clean electricity that isn’t dependent on the sun or wind, and without creating earthquakes and alarming the nearby residents.

Renewable energy such as geothermal energy has long been held back by energy kings such as cheap natural gas, weak demand for power and declining political concern over global warming and it’s effects. Efforts to use the earth’s heat to generate power, known as geothermal energy, have been further hindered by technological issues and concerns that some of the techniques used to tap into it can create earthquakes.

Keeping that in mind, the federal government, Google and other investors are still interested enough in the technology to wager $43 million on the Newberry Volcano Oregon project. They are helping the company, AltaRock Energy, Inc. of Seattle and Davenport Newberry Holdings LLC of Stamford, Conn., who runs Newberry Geothermal, demonstrate whether the next level in geothermal power development can work on the flanks of Newberry Volcano, located about 20 miles south of Bend, Ore.

Susan Petty, president of AltaRock Energy stated: “We know the heat is there. The big issue is can we circulate enough water through the system to make it economic.” Continue Reading Geothermal Energy Technology Breakthrough at Newberry Volcano, Oregon? Here
