One advantage of solar and wind power over fossil fuels is that
wind and solar are presently much less expensive than fossil fuels.
wind and solar come from natural processes and fossil fuels do not.
wind and solar are nonrenewable resources and fossil fuel are renewable.
wind and solar are continuously renewable and fossil fuels take millions of years to be formed.
