List three renewable and three nonrenewable energy sources?

Question

List three renewable and three nonrenewable energy sources. For each source of energy, list at least four advantages and four disadvantages of each.

Answer 1

renewable - Wind power - cheap, available, enviromentally friendly & does not run out. Disadvantage - has to be windy/exposed, initial cost of setting up, can be considered unsightly
Tidal - Cheap, enviromentally friendly, available around the world & does not run out. Disadvantage - cost of setting up, small return for initial investment, suitable locations
Solar - available, enviromentally friendly, relatively cheap after installation. Disadvantages - Cost of setting up, sunny location needed, storing power
Non Renewable - Nuclear - reliable, clean, economic. Disadvantage - enviromental hazard, safety, disposal of waste
Fossil fuel Coal & gas - widely available, relatively cheap, established technology. Disadvantage - limited source, carbon emmissions, price can fluctuate

Answer 2

Sources of energy that are............. Renewable: 1. Solar power (it won't be leaving anytime soon, might as well use it.) 2. Water Power: rushing water turns the turbine used to make energy 3. Wind Power (this is another great way to get renewable energy. Did you know ) Non-renewable: 1. Petroleum * 2. Natrual Gas * 3. Coal * 4. Hydroelectric * 5. Nucleur * *sometime soon (probably in the next 100-150 years) we will run out of these natural resources and then all h311 will break loose. Cars will have to be changed from gas to different things. People will have live in a world that is polluted And much much more. That's why using these natural resources is so bad. Oh yeah and then our great-grandchildren will never get to see what happens when petroleum hits the water on the ground and becomes a mixture of many metallic colors. And all those other cool things that these materials do.
