alternate energy is more efficient than fossil fuels

alternate energy increases the amount of sulfur dioxide ejected into the atmosphere

Why are fossil fuels more widely used than solar energy?

The sun's energy can never be harnessed

Which methods of generating electricity does NOT use alternative energy resources?

Solar panels taking in light energy

Drilling wells to reach hot rocks deep inside the earth

Why is the Sun considered the ultimate energy source?
