Question 23 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Explain why renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal power have more limitations to their use than the burning of fossil fuels.

Answer

Answer:

Solar and wind power depend on weather and the time of day, while geothermal power is practical mainly in areas with suitable underground heat. These sources can also require specialized equipment, transmission systems, or energy storage. Fossil fuels are energy-dense and can generally be stored and burned whenever energy is needed.
