It generates more power that other renewable sources like solar energy system, wind, geothermal sources.

Fossil fuels:

Fossil fuels originate from organic matter that was trapped under the Earth surface for many millennia.

Due to the particular combination of temperature, pressure, and available oxygen, the decomposition of organic matter resulted in the hydrocarbons.

The extracted item ; Coal, crude oil, and natural gas- the solid, liquid and gaseous forms of fossil fuels, respectively.

Nonrenewable sources are those for which the energy source is used and not concurrently replenished.
