Energy Resources

• The Main renewable resources are

  
  

  1. Wind
  2.  Solar
  3.  Geothermal
  4.  Water waves
  5.  Biofuels
  6.  Hydroelectricity
  7.  Tidal
• Fossil fuels: coal, crude oil, and natural gas
• Biofuel can be mixed with petrol to be more environmentally friendly.
• A fossil fuel is a hydrocarbon, which is formed over millions of years from dead animal remains.
• Pros of Fossil Fuels

  
  

  • Cheap
  • Used in any condition, efficient(dont need wind)
  • Most of our infrastructure already use it.
• Nuclear fuel is unlikely to run out eventhough its limited.
• Nuclear power stations produce radioactive waste, which needs to be stored carefully.
• Nuclear Fuel is expensive.
• Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy from the wind into electrical energy.

  
• Geothermal energy is the thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth.
• Fossils fuels are cheap and reliable.
• Vehicles can run on biofuels
• Natural Gas heats water in radiators.
