I think they aren't used because they're more expensive.

We do not use them, because if we use them to much u could run out of them.

Olivia M said...

We don't use them because the have very bad disadvantages.

Braedon M said...

I this they aren't used as much because they dont conduct as much energy.

allexius t said...

They are limited in supply and will one day be depleted. ... Certainly, if there were a way that fossil fuels can be mined and used in ways that

There a couple of reasons actually, one of the reasons is it may not be as powerful, also, it could be expensive or pollute the air.

Renewable energy helps because you can reuse the energy for something else and doesn't pollute the atmosphere the gas we use has smoke that goes up to the atmosphere and that is what also causes Global Warming.

Jade S said...

I think they are not because if we use to much we will run out.

i think the reason they do not use renewable resources is because they don't get it with the word RENEWABLE means that it can be used over and over again... so i am assuming they are not using it because they are dum.

Because they are very expensive.

Because most to all renewable resources have had disadvantages

camden taylor said...

Some people do use renewable resources but the people that do not are making more money and it is cheaper to not use the nonrenewable.Like he said in the video yesterday.Oil is less expensive because it is everywhere and is easy to obtain.

Olivia M said...

We don't use renewable resources because the have very bad disadvantages that could damage the earth.

Chloe O. said...

Bad* not had

They are not used because they are expensive and some are still in progress.

Scratch that, it does not pollute, but, it can be hard to turn to energy or process.

owen said...

some reenable resources are very expensive.

Renewable sources are a lot more expensive. With solar power, the average price per kilowatt-hour is 5.6 cents, while with Fossil Fuels are around 6.6 cents. BUT, renewable sources take longer to set up, like solar panels. Some ways to use renewable energy, you have to live in a certain environment. For example, for a Tidal Turbine to be used to power your house, you have to live in a place where a Tidal Turbine can be used. If we use these sources, we have to keep these sources new and safe, which means we have to pay money. Even people who do not use Renewable Resources have to pay small taxes to keep windmills, and tidal turbines running.

Some renewable resources are vary expensive and still in development.

yvette C said...

People are to lazy to use them and they are hard to find

dominic l said...

some of them are expensive

dArReN said...

They might no be used because they might be in development or people might be happy with the way they get these thing now and dont want to change them.

Brooke Carman said...

Because renewable resources are expensive, and sometimes they don't work in certain places. Like wind power, they don't work in places with low wind speeds, and not much wind.

Jakob P said...

Solar Power coast a lot of money and Gas is going down so why would you pay more for something that is the same as Gas.

Renewable resources are very expensive

Renewable resources are expensive. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ See what I mean.

Wayne Twombly said...

Most of the renewable resources are stopped by money or people who love their land and dont want to give it up.

Kevin D. said...

Most of the renewable resources cost a lot, An example is a windmill can call 2000$ +.

Kiara M. said...

They probably don't use renewable resources because they are more expensive and you can only use them in certain places. For example, you could use wind power in one place, but might not be able to use it in another.

Chris Payeur said...

Research is the most expensive part.

Cameron M. said...

Renewable resources are not being used as much because they are expensive and they take a lot of electricity to generate.

Lewin P said...

Well, one big reason is that they cost a lot more than fossil fuels.

Abby D. said...

Maybe renewable resources are more expensive and you can only use them in certain places.

DYLAN N said...

You have to put a lot of money into then.

Anonymous said...

Because expensive prices for the materials.

DYLAN N said...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Ryan S. said...

We don't use them because we have better things and they cost a lot of money.

Anthony B said...

One reason why renewable resources are not being used as much is because they cost more than fossil fuels.

Hannah M said...

Because people give a lot of money and work into getting them ready for others to use.

Jake Esty said...

Renewable resources are more expensive than non renewable which is why we use those instead.

Isaiah w said...

The reason there not used as much is because they are expensive.

Aidan Farris said...

We don't use much renewable resources because it takes awhile to dig and extract the resources and the non renewable resources are almost instant and don't need to be either boiled,extracted or shipped to a plant.

Antwan M said...

Because Energy sources like hydrogen, cause 0 pollution, but are hard to form, you need to create it from different elements and chemicals.

Anonymous said...

I think is because it is harder to get than nonrenewable resources.

tanya .m said...

Because sometimes we do not have the things to form it or harvest it.

Sometimes they are exspensive.

Lauren M said...

The problem is fossil fuels are non-renewable. They are limited in supply and will one day be depleted. There is no escaping this conclusion. Fossil fuels formed from plants and animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago and became buried way underneath the Earth’s surface where their remains collectively transformed into the combustible materials we use for fuel.
