  1. It can be if managed sustainably, but burning biomass still releases CO₂.
  2. It disrupts ecosystems, displaces communities, and is costly to build.
  3. Free!
  4. Yes, through geothermal heat pumps for heating and cooling.
  5. High initial costs, location-dependent, and potential for induced seismic activity.
  6. The main challenges include energy storage, grid infrastructure upgrades, and intermittency of some renewable sources.
  7. Can contribute to deforestation, air pollution, and require large land areas.
  8. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases air pollution, and conserves natural resources.
  9. Wind is unpredictable, turbines can be noisy, and they may impact wildlife.
  10. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical power.
  11. Uses waste materials, reduces landfill waste, and provides steady power.
  12. It’s reliable, produces no direct emissions, and offers energy storage (pumped storage).
  13. Heat from the Earth’s core used to generate electricity or for direct heating.
  14. With advancements in storage, grid management, and efficiency, a full transition is possible, but it requires large-scale investments and policy support.
  15. Energy from organic materials like wood, crop waste, and animal manure.
