Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Biomass, and Water
4 Non renewable resources are
Nuclear energy from Uranium Coal Oil Gas
Advantage: its free, renewable, does not produce pollution, and can be stored in batteries. Disadvantage: causes skin cancer from radiation, expensive for photovoltaic cells.
Solar Energy
Advantage: its free from magma in the earth, requires little land, & renewable. Disadvantage: only available in hot spots, must pump salts and sulfides into ground.
Geothermal Energy
Advantage: its free, renewable, no air pollution, and can be used to pump water to resevoirs. Disadvantage: noisy, unsightly, interferes with radio signals.
Wind Energy
Advantage: its free, renewable and has no air pollution Advantage: its free, renewable and has no air pollution. Disadvantage: floods can disrupt ecosystems, available only by water, salt corrodes turbines.
Water Energy
Advantage: its free, renewable and can be rid wastes, can use CO2 Advantage: its free, renewable and can be rid wastes, can use CO2. Disadvantage: requires large farm areas, produces smoke (CO, methane, & CO2, )
Biomass Energy
Advantage: small amounts can be used to create enormous amounts of energy, no air pollution. Disadvantage: radioactive wastes, nonrenewable, meltdowns.
Nuclear Energy
