Worse in what respect? Renewable energy is generally much better environmentally, but usually costs more than non-renewable. Non-renewable energy from coal, oil, and natural gas causes both air and water pollution, and greenhouse gases. Renewable energy from windmills interferes with the habitat and migration of birds and bats, hydro power diverts spawning patterns and can lead to flooding, nuclear generates dangerous waste, biomass can likewise release toxic substances, geothermal is efficient but extraordinarily costly. That pretty much leaves solar, which still has a long way to go in regard to efficiency, but progress is being made there. The decision which is better ultimately depends upon your needs, your resources, your location, and your environmental awareness.

Which is used more renewable or non-renewable energy?
non renewable energy
What source of energy is not renewable?
Energy from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is non-renewable.
Why is sustainable energy important?
Because non-renewable sources are...well...non-renewable? They won't last forever. Renewable resources can be renewed. Congratz
Why solar energy is harnessed?
Solar energy is harnessed because it is a renewable source of energy and we should make full use of it to lower the pressure on the traditional or non-renewable sources of energy.
Why is renewable energy better for the society than non renewable energy?
Renewable energy means using the power of the sun, or the wind, or the movement of water in rivers and oceans to generate power. Once these power plants are established there are no emissions of carbon dioxide or any other pollutants. Non-renewable energy (from burning coal, oil and natural gas, mostly) releases vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere increasing our greenhouse gases and contributing to global warming and climate change. So renewable energy is much better for society than non-renewable energy.
Why renewable resource is best?
Renewable energy can't run out. Non-renewable energy WILL run out. Renewable energy is produced at a constant rate, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy is free when the generator is built, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy does not cause pollution (with the exception of biofuels), non-renewable energy does.
Which is used more renewable or non-renewable energy?
non renewable energy
What is the difference between renewable energy and non renewable sources of energy?
renewable source of energy can be regenerated but non-renewable source of energy can not be regenerated.
