What are the advantages of using solar energy?
Free and unlimited supply of energy
Ability to create solar panels easily
Inexpensive equipment
Consistent energy source
What are the disadvantages of using solar energy?
There is an unlimited supply of energy
Energy is free
It is expensive, and supplemental heating is need when solar energy is unavailable
It provides less power than all the other sources of alternate energy
What earth materials do nuclear plants use to produce energy?
Heat produces by fission of hydrogen atoms is used to heat water. Steam drives a turbine that turns to a generator to produce electricity.
Steam causes uranium atoms to separate and create energy that is harnessed through copper wire to create electricity
Nuclear power plants do not produce energy they simply package it and deliver it to businesses and households that are in thier area
Heat produces by fission of uranium atoms is used to heat water. Steam drives a turbine that turns to a generator to produce electricity.
What are the advantages and drawbacks of hydroelectric power?
it provides more energy than all the other sources of renewable energy but the locations are not always easy to create
renewable but dams have a finite lifetime high water levels are needed
low water levels are needed but they are not as renewable as the other sources
inexpensive but water is not always flowing where dams are built and energy is not consistent
What are the advantages and drawbacks of geothermal power?
There are not drawbacks of geothermal power it is a very reliable clean source.
Clean energy but nonrenewable suitable sites are rare
Suitable sites are abundant but the energy is not as clean as other alternative sources
Free and easy to get to however the tools needed to get it are expensive
What are the advantages and drawbacks of tidal power?
Renewable but limited sites are available
There are many sites and it is renewable
Inexpensive but it is dangerous to harness the energy
Limited sites are available so that makes it a great alternative energy source
What are the environmental impacts of wind energy?
Wind energy has no environmental impacts
Wind turbines can affect local wildlife and noise levels
Wind energy increases air pollution
Wind energy depletes natural resources
What are the benefits of using biomass as an energy source?
Biomass is non-renewable and expensive
Biomass reduces waste and is renewable
Biomass is only available in limited areas
Biomass requires no processing before use
What are the challenges of implementing wave energy?
Wave energy is easy to harness and widely available
Wave energy devices are inexpensive to build
Wave energy can be inconsistent and costly to develop
Wave energy has no environmental impact
Are these renewable or non-renewable solar, wind power
Renewable
Non Renewable
Is nuclear power renewable or non-renewable
Renewable
Non-Renewable
