Renewable energy resources

• have a limited supply and will eventually be gone

• have the ability to regrow or regenerate over short time periods

• take 100's to 1000's of years to regenerate

• have pollution contents

When learning new information about alternative energy sources, what is a good practice to use?

What is a benefit of using green energy such as biofuels, solar, or wind power?

• they are renewable and produce little pollution

• there is no benefit for using them

• they are more expensive than using fossil fuels

• they are likely to run out of supply in the near future

Greenhouse gases are harmful gases that enter the environment through emissions. How can people lower this?

• burn more fossil fuels for energy

• use alternative energy like solar, biomass, wind, water

• use energy efficient appliances

• burn natural gas for energy
