Burning fossil fuels to generate electricity releases additional carbon dioxide which the carbon cycle is unable to deal with. If we could produce all our energy from renewable sources tomorrow, we would have very little problem with climate change. Even power generation from the burning of biofuels give off carbon dioxide but as the biofuel absorbed carbon in its creation it is demeaned as a carbon neutral fuel. This will not reduce the greenhouse gasses- just not add to them. However <em>electrical generation from tide or wind or solar has no carbon monoxide release and so is considerably better than biofuels for reducing greenhouse gasses<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renewable energy includes hydroelectric power, tidal power, wind, solar, geothermal and biomass. These are not depleted when we use them. (Biomass must be replanted for this to be neutral) Renewable energy does not cause carbon dioxide emissions (bio energy does but it is deemed neutral), and therefore does not contribute to climate change, like the burning fossil fuels does.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is true that no single technology can or should provide all the power we need, but <em>large clusters of tidal power units have the potential to go a long way towards reliable, predictable base load power from a renewable source.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defnyddio ynni o danwyddau ffosil yw&#8217;r prif ffynhonnell o allyriadau nwyon t\u0177 gwydr a wneir gan ddyn. Yn llosgi tanwyddau ffosil i gynhyrchu trydan, mae&#8217;n rhyddhau carbon deuocsid ychwanegol nad yw&#8217;r cylch carbon yn gallu delio ag ef. Pe baem yn gallu cynhyrchu ein holl ynni o ffynonellau adnewyddadwy yfory, ni fyddai gennym broblem fawr gyda newid hinsawdd. Hyd yn oed ynni gan gynnwys tanwyddau biofioled yn rhyddhau carbon deuocsid ond gan fod y biofwel wedi asgryo carbon yn ei chreu mae&#8217;n cael ei ddiffinio fel tanwydd carbon naturiol. Ni fydd hyn yn lleihau&#8217;r nwyon t\u0177 gwydr &#8211; dim ond peidio \u00e2&#8217;u hychwanegu. Fodd bynnag, nid yw genhedlaeth drydanol o lanw, gwynt, neu yr haul yn rhyddhau monocsid carbon ac felly mae&#8217;n llawer gwell na biofuels o ran lleihau nwyon t\u0177 gwydr.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mae ynni adnewyddadwy yn cynnwys p\u0175er hydroelecrtig, p\u0175er llanw, gwynt, solar, geothermaidd a biomas. Nid ydynt yn mynd yn wag pan fyddwn yn eu defnyddio. (Mae&#8217;n rhaid ailblannu Biomas i hyn fod yn niwtral) Nid yw ynni adnewyddadwy yn achosi allyriadau carbon deuocsid (gwneir bio egni ond mae&#8217;n cael ei ddiffinio fel niwtral), ac felly nid yw&#8217;n cyfrannu at newid hinsawdd, fel mae llosgi tanwyddau ffosil yn ei wneud.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mae&#8217;n wir nad yw unrhyw dechnoleg unigol yn gallu neu dylai ddarparu&#8217;r holl b\u0175er sydd ei angen arnom, ond mae clystyrau mawr o unedau p\u0175er llanw \u00e2&#8217;r potensial i fynd ymhell tuag at b\u0175er sylfaen dibynadwy, rhagweladwy o ffynhonnell adnewyddadwy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy use from fossil fuel is the dominant source of greenhouse gas emissions made by man.
