单词 | renewable energy |
释义 | renewable energy Energy produced by methods which do not involve using up irreplaceable natural resources. Burning fossil fuels that is, coal, oil, and natural gas is clearly not a renewable method. Using solar energy, either directly or by burning biomass grown by sustainable methods, or hydroelectric or tidal power, is renewable so far as the fuel is concerned, though building the necessary equipment may deplete other finite resources. Atomic energy is renewable so far as the fuel is concerned, but may in the long run lead to serious environmental problems, through accidents and the need to dispose of waste materials and decommissioned nuclear power-stations. |
