Renewable energy is clearly advantageous to the environment, but what does this mean about ‘non-renewable’ sources of energy, that yield bad ERoEI?

Renewable energy is also characterized as having a high Energy Returned on Energy Invested, which means that the ERoEI, should be profitable to a consumer so that they have a reason to use it besides just helping the envirment out. This helps, because the right renewable energy sources will be considered a viable resource to the consumer with high ERoEI, so they will continue to use it as a 100% supplement to dangerous fossil fuel production.

Choosing the best renewable energy is easy

Solar power unlike other sources of renewable energy is: 100% environmental Pays off fast Practical for the home and being off or on the grid (you can even do both) Although other forms of renewable energy may yield productive clean energy, they are foremost, not available to consumers living on the grid, so you are still stuck paying a high electricity bill. And, ultimately there are down sides to anything in mass production. For instance, dams may be able to produce renewable energy, but they...

Solar Energy's Positive Impact on the Environment

Solar energy is more than just energy to provide power for your house or business. Solar energy is a fundamental source for life on Earth, it provides enough solar energy to fuel nearly every ecosystem on the planet. With the technological advantages, we can now use solar energy for something more than just providing a means for us to survive. Solar panels can take the energy that is radiating from the sun and convert it into a clean source of renewable energy that we can use as an alternative to fossil fuels.

The Positive Impacts of Solar Power

Currently, solar energy is only responsible for supplying a portion of global energy. The solar energy industry is quickly expanding a component of the sources of the renewable energy sector. Sure, there is the age-old debate about the cost of solar panels, if they are practical energy sources. Then there’s the question of ‘if a mass solar panel installation will produce the desired amount of energy or not’. The bottom line is, solar panels are a technology that offers a lot more than a simple promise that this source of renewable energy will be sustainable.
