Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or can't be replenished. In North America, most energy sources come from fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum.

Advantages and Disadvantages to different types of non-renewable energy sources:

Coal is reliable and can be be burned to generate energy at any time of the day and during any season. Although this is a relatively inexpensive way to generate energy, mining coal is dangerous and emits dangerous toxins into the atmosphere.
Burning petroleum is another dependable yet inexpensive energy source. It releases hazardous gases and fumes into the air that can have negative long term affects on the environment and on human health.
Natural gas is the best non-renewable source ti use since it only releases carbon dioxide and water vapour, which are the same gases we breathe other. Unfortunately, this can also cause environmental problems and contaminate water sources.

Benefits of using renewable sources of energy:

Each year, thousands of people die due to air pollution and smog. This can be reduced by generating renewable energy. Jobs will also be created and energy prices will be cheaper. Countries like Denmark and Germany are leading the way in using solar and wind energy.

I'd love to hear your opinion on the comparison between renewable and non-renewable energy! Please leave a comment or ask a question!

If you want to have easy cheap electricty that uses no fossil fuel use goethermal from Yellowstone.

Investing a couple of billion will not get the next nuclear power station started but will produce all the power you could ever want out of the biggest volcanoe on the planet.

Businesses are used to generating energy in these ways so it's difficult for them to change their ways.
It might be better for the government to provide a financial incentive for businesses to reduce their emissions instead.

What, like the incentive that they have to pay for their power? As they already do?

Dirtier energy is cheaper. Why would they, of their own accord, buy more expensive energy?

Something that doesn't exist can't have drivers, much less "major" drivers.

How do you know coal and oil are not renewable? Oil in particular can be manufactured synthetically. We do so on a factory scale as a matter of routine. The same conditions we use to manufacture oil exist naturally in the Earth.

Methane (natural gas) occurs NATURALLY in water sources! It can generate carbon monoxide and NOx, just the same as any other carbon based fuel. Again, it's all about the efficiency of the burn.

A couple of billion will easily build a nuclear power station, except for the corruption and political costs.

Yellowstone Natl park is not the biggest volcano in the world.

Geothermal energy is fine, but you get natural gas from it at yellowstone. It's a sour gas, though, and would need extra processing.

The biggest obstacle to geothermal at yellowstone is political. The place is a national park.

If you're talking about what I think you are, that's oil from other FFs. Correct me if I'm wrong. Actually, never mind, you'll do that whatever I say.

So as coal ages, it tends to be cleaner? And a few hundred years can make that much of a difference? The more you know...

Burning things produces CO2. There's almost no way around it.

Efficient, yes, but it costs money to install fume-filters. Only if the government makes them, or makes it cheaper for them to do so, will companies install them at a significant rate.

Reduce emissions. Like installing fume-filters. Costs money, doesn't directly help the company much.

Not fuel use. Emissions. Those can be reduced in other ways, and should. Fume-filters, for one.

Basically, you take a carbon source (like carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide), hydrogen, and stick it in a pressure cooker with an iron catalyst. The result is light sweet crude.

The same conditions exist naturally under the surface of the Earth.

That is not the purpose of a catalytic converter. In fact, if fumes get into a catalytic converter, it will destroy the converter. That's why there are sensors all over your engine and exhaust system to detect it and prevent it.

No... need? CO2. And besides, cars do need them. Catalytic converters.

That is not the purpose of a catalytic converter. In fact, if fumes get into a catalytic converter, it will destroy the converter. That's why there are sensors all over your engine and exhaust system to detect it and prevent it.[/quote]

So, Into, what do you say the purpose of a catalytic converter is?

No. It only shows you what happens when you are sloppy about burning fuel.

Yup. You're wrong. No 'fossil' fuel is required to make synthetic oil.

Basically, you take a carbon source (like carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide), hydrogen, and stick it in a pressure cooker with an iron catalyst. The result is light sweet crude.

The same conditions exist naturally under the surface of the Earth.


Ah, but do you get more energy out than in? Or is it just an energy storage mechanism, not an energy source?

You put in more energy than you get out by burning the fuel. The rest is lost due to inefficiencies in the process. The conditions exist, however, for the same process to run within the crust of the Earth. This also explains why oil is often found well below any fossil layer and why wells fill up again after they've been pumped dry and capped.

It's main purpose is to convert CO into CO2.

NOx is taken care of by the EGR system. The converter will deal with any that get past EGR, so long as it doesn't get too much of it.

Oil extraction does occasionally have pollution problems. Most of these aren't permanent issues, even major spills at sea. The environment can absorb it quite well after a few weeks.

As energy sources go, oil isn't all that bad. Wind power, for example, can kill birds and has killed people. It is not a safe source either. The energy source with the best safety record is actually nuclear. Mining the ore and processing it can be dangerous, but you only need a few pounds of fuel to power the plant for quite a long time.

Fossil fuels are basically stored solar energy, allowing us to draw upon the power of the ancient Sun instead of the current one. It's an energy source for our purposes.

Making our own oil is not an energy source for our purposes. There's a significant difference. It is useful, because we can turn electricity (ferex) into oil, allowing us to continue using the oil-burning machines, etc.

I meant filter in the sense of "something that reduces/removes harmful emissions," maybe that's why?

No, you put out theories and contrivances that violate physics then claim they don't violate physics.

Either you meant "hypotheses," or you admit that my statements have experimental verification. I'm guessing the former.

They don't. You are misunderstanding the 2nd. I have tried to show you the ridiculous results of applying the Imaginary 2nd, but you haven't listened.

Burning petroleum is another dependable yet inexpensive energy source. It releases hazardous gases and fumes into the air that can have negative long term affects on the environment and on human health.

All depends on the burn. We're pretty efficient handling this stuff too.

Efficient, yes, but it costs money to install fume-filters. Only if the government makes them, or makes it cheaper for them to do so, will companies install them at a significant rate.

Not used with oil. No need to. Cars don't have them either. No need.

No... need? CO2. And besides, cars do need them. Catalytic converters.

That is not the purpose of a catalytic converter. In fact, if fumes get into a catalytic converter, it will destroy the converter. That's why there are sensors all over your engine and exhaust system to detect it and prevent it.

Fumes: "gas, smoke, or vapor that smells strongly or is dangerous to inhale." Example: "cloud of exhaust fumes spewed by cars."

"A catalytic converter is an emissions control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas to less toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (an oxidation and a reduction reaction)."

So, Into, what do you say the purpose of a catalytic converter is?

It's main purpose is to convert CO into CO2.

NOx is taken care of by the EGR system. The converter will deal with any that get past EGR, so long as it doesn't get too much of it.


I am somewhat confused. I said, "cars have CC fume-filters," you said "that's not what CCs are for," I said "yes it is [definitions]", you said "they're used to reduce the CO emissions," which would be removing CO from the fumes.

I meant filter in the sense of "something that reduces/removes harmful emissions," maybe that's why?

It is not removing CO from the fumes. There are no fumes (at least in a properly running engine). It is not a filter of any kind. It is a converter that favors CO2 over CO.[/quote]
It is making it so that the exhaust or fumes do not contain as much CO. It is removing CO from the fumes in the sense that a chemical reaction removes its reagents.
But I forget, you are illiterate of chemistry or automotive engineering.

Chemistry? No. Just because I don't know how a converter works doesn't mean the 40th national place in Chemistry Lab or the flying colours in college Chem are suddenly worthless. But I forget - I don't need to justify calling myself intelligent, especially in response to abuse.

Automotive engineering? That's a new insult. No, I don't know how those infernal combustion engines work.

Natural gas is the best non-renewable source ti use since it only releases carbon dioxide and water vapour, which are the same gases we breathe other. Unfortunately, this can also cause environmental problems and contaminate water sources.

Methane (natural gas) occurs NATURALLY in water sources! It can generate carbon monoxide and NOx, just the same as any other carbon based fuel. Again, it's all about the efficiency of the burn.

1. Fracking.
2. Carbon dioxide.

Non-sequitur.

The environmental problems and water contamination come from fracking. Not a non sequitur. (Also, no dash.)

Conspiracy story. Fracking takes place well below the water table. The environmental problems are no different than any other form of oil extraction.



Haha, hypocrite. Besides, leaks above the water table can and do occur.

As for "no different than any other form of oil extraction," all this shows is that all oil extraction is as bad as fracking. This does not show that fracking is okay.

Oil extraction does occasionally have pollution problems. Most of these aren't permanent issues, even major spills at sea. The environment can absorb it quite well after a few weeks.

I doubt that. If it gets absorbed into the soil, it'll go to the water table. And major oil spills at sea have been incredibly detrimental to the environment. Deepwater Horizon, etc.

If I detonate a nuclear bomb, the blast will dissipate, so it can't be that bad for the environment, right?

As energy sources go, oil isn't all that bad. Wind power, for example, can kill birds and has killed people. It is not a safe source either. The energy source with the best safety record is actually nuclear. Mining the ore and processing it can be dangerous, but you only need a few pounds of fuel to power the plant for quite a long time.


About those birds. AGW hurts birds. Wind turbines? Not even as bad as housecats. Not even as bad as cell phone towers.

Birds NEST on cellphone towers. Quite happily, too.

No bird has been harmed by Global Warming. You are just assuming the circular argument again.

Benefits of using renewable sources of energy:

Each year, thousands of people die due to air pollution and smog. This can be reduced by generating renewable energy. Jobs will also be created and energy prices will be cheaper. Countries like Denmark and Germany are leading the way in using solar and wind energy.

Air pollution and smog are nowhere near the problems they used to be. You're making stuff up, or quoting someone that is making stuff up.

Ever been to China?
Yes. My statement still stands. China is simply not burning efficiently. They are wasting fuel doing it too.

Your claim is that "smog is not really a problem anymore." I'm giving a single example of a single place where it is. Doesn't that refute everything you said in the last 48 hours?
[/sarcasm/irony/facetiousness/whatever]

No. It only shows you what happens when you are sloppy about burning fuel.

Smog is a localized problem in many places. Air pollution may be improving, or it may not, but it is still an issue. In the UK, "excess deaths from particle pollution today can be estimated at about 64,000 a year." source. (Keep in mind that the article itself states that air pollution is improving! You can hardly call it biased toward the statement that air pollution is getting worse.)


I don't consider the Guardian a legitimate source of environmental science.

Air pollution has improved...quite a lot. Especially in the United States.


I never disputed that. Air pollution is a problem, one that (ignoring CO2 for now) is getting better, but still a problem.


It always has been, it always will be. At least you finally agree air pollution not being the problem it used to be. That's good, because I personally built a fair amount of the instrumentation that cleaned it up. Other people talk about doing something about air pollution, I DID clean up the air!


Good for you. (I'm not being sarcastic here, I really am glad that you did that.)

I doubt you get even the basics. However, it is something you can learn. There is some fascinating engineering in cars (as well as boats and aircraft).

Even the steam locomotives had some pretty cool pieces of engineering on them.

1) Oil is not a nuclear bomb. Redirection dismissed.
2) Nuclear explosions do not permanently destroy the environment.

You obviously don't know how oil is removed from the environment. The environment itself removes it. Oil is food. Bacteria eat it. These bacteria naturally exist in all ocean water.

Okay. Let's talk about the usefulness.

Wind generators consume a LOT of real estate for the power they produce.

They can and have thrown blades at speed, causing destruction of many units at once up to a mile away as well as kill people doing it.

ALL of the wind generators combined make up about one-tenth the power (or less) of a single nuclear power plant, oil fired plant, coal fired plant, or hydro plant in a typical State; yet they consume much more real estate than one traditional power plant.

They are expensive. They can only exist with massive government subsidies.

They are unsightly. No one wants to look at them. A traditional power plant is also unsightly, but it's localized in one facility.

So...why do we have it?

Is it waste?

The reason it is dangerous at all is because it is still putting out energy. If you move it to a plant that harnesses that energy for power, it is fuel. True, it's not as good as the 'good stuff', but it will produce power. Once discharged in such a plant, it can be returned to the environment from whence it came, or sent for reprocessing into new nuclear fuel by extracting out 'the good stuff'. The depleted fuel is safe to return to the environment (although there are better uses for it, such as large passenger jets).
