Question by festivedragon: Is Hydro electricity a Renewable energy?
Many in the energy community on the west coast of the USA and the world feel that Hydro electric power in its current form is a non-renewable energy source. They feel this way because how we currently make hydro power is a non-sustainable way of making power and a to be renewable you have to be sustainable. What do you think?
Best answer:
Answer by Oiler
There are new hydro technologies which are clearly renewable and sustainable.
Among them are systems designed to capture tidal flows and wave action in coastal areas. These will continue to create energy as long as there are oceans on the planet. The hydroelectric plants on the Niagara River in New York are certainly renewable, since the water flows constantly and does not require man's input to do so.

Are these two forms of alternative fuels (solar, hydrogen) necessarily better for the environment? How?

Question by soh_pang_joo: Are these two forms of alternative fuels (solar, hydrogen) necessarily better for the environment? How?
Best answer:
Answer by jonnyxbrainless
Yes, both of them are.
The only drawback of hydrogen, and it's a small one, is that it generates heat, which contributes marginally to the heating of the universe which will one day equalise the entire universe, but that's as maybe.
Hydrogen is a clean-burn fuel, yielding only energy and water in its combustion, and solar power is able, using photovoltaic cells, to convert light into electricity to power electric vehicles or electricity in homes.
Neither of these has any negative effect on the environment when harvested and used correctly, unlike our current dependency on fossil fuels.
