1. Nonrenewable Resources
Resources that cannot be replaced in our lifetime and will eventually run out.

2. Renewable Resources
Resources that can be replaced over a logical period of time, or will never run out.

3. Wind Energy (Renewable)
Electrical energy generated by wind turning wind turbines.
Disadvantages:
Only can go in places with a lot of wind
You need a lot of turbines to make electricity
They are ugly
Advantages:
It’s free
No greenhouse gases produced

4. Hydropower (Renewable)
Energy generated by tides, waves, and dams.
Disadvantages:
Dams are expensive
Affects nearby wildlife
No rain = no electricity
Advantages:
It’s free
No greenhouse gases produced

5. Fossil Fuels (Nonrenewable)
Fuels found in the ground such as oil, natural gas, and coal. Will eventually run out.
Disadvantages:
Produces greenhouse gases such as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
Coal mines and Oil rigs are dangerous and harmful to the environment
Advantages:
Can be found in a lot of place in the world
Easy to transport
Cheap

6. Solar Energy (Renewable)
Energy generated using solar panels to convert light and heat into electricity.
Disadvantages:
Expensive to build solar stations
Cloudy or night time there is no energy
They are ugly
Advantages:
It’s free
No greenhouse gases produced

7. Geothermal Energy (Renewable)
Energy from heat inside the Earth
Disadvantages:
Not very many places to build geothermal stations
Harmful gases and materials sometimes come up.
Advantages:
It’s free
No greenhouse gases produced

8. Biomass Energy (Renewable)
From plants, which includes firewood from trees, ethanol from corn, and biodiesel from vegetable oil
Disadvantages:
Produces greenhouse gases such carbon dioxide
There is not enough space to grow biomass fuel
Advantages:
It’s cheap and from things that we usually throw away
Should not run out

9. Nuclear Energy (Nonrenewable)
Energy from heat produced when splitting a Uranium atom through a process called nuclear fission.
Disadvantages:
Waste is Radioactive
Uranium will run out in about 50 years with our current use.
Advantages:
No harmful greenhouse gases
A small amount of Uranium produces a lot of energy
