wind turbines
advantages
The wind turbine conserves and keeps the water clean. it also helps the air to stay unpolluted unlike many machines that pollute the air to produce energy.
disadvantages
The disadvantages of wind turbines is that it can impact plants and animals since they would need area to build the wind turbines they will be destroying wildlife and natural vegetation.
hydro power
beneficial
Hydro power is a renewable source as well as being reliable and affordable. Some hydropower facilities can quickly go from zero power to maximum output and provides a number of benefits such as flood control,irrigation and water supply.
harmfull
The process of building large dams can cause serious geological damage, for example like the building in the USA called the hoover dam that caused a number of earthquakes.
Geothermal Energy
fossil fuels
positive affects
fossil fuels are easily found today and produces a large amount of energy which is good for the future since the population of the world is increasing everyday.
Many electronics are generated by fossil fuel and is very stable because the fossil fuels is composed with the molecules of carbon and hydrogen which makes it very stable.
negitive affects
when fossil fuel is burnt it causes pollution and this is one of the reason for global warming, it has caused many polar ice caps to melt which also increases the sea level which can create flooding in some areas. Fossil fuels are also a non renewable source and it's been estimated to run out in the next 30 to 40 years.

Opportunities
Renewable Energy :recycle:
Heat Energy :fire:
Beneath the earth's surface, it is very hot. Using graphene cables, a form of carbon which is 100 times stronger than steel. The heat can be brought to earth to run in turbines, creating so much clean energy without burning a single thing.

Solar Energy :star:
Using solar panels for roofs and energy sources is more eco-friendly than using fossil fuels for energy. When burning fossil fuels we pollute the land which is not good for the environment. Using solar panels will use the energy from the sun to power your house.
Link
Wind Energy :tada:
Wind energy is the energy we get from wind turbines. Using wind energy is significantly better for the environment because it doesn't pollute while it is getting generated. Therefore it is a better alternative to fossil fuels.
Thinking Smartly :smiley:
A soccer pitch in a Rio de Janeiro slum harnesses the power of kinetic energy. Every time children move while playing soccer it creates kinetic energy which gets used for houses around the slum. This is a beneficial way to save money and electricity and encourages children to play football.

Problems :forbidden:
The bad ways we gain energy
Non-Renewable Energy

If we countlessly use up these type of energy sources eventually we will run out. If we look in the air there are hardly blue skies because of all the factories that make the energy and the transportations etc. that consume them. These type of energy hurt the environment and can cause sickness to man kind. Most of the non-renewable energy is expensive because you would have to keep providing yourself with the energy that the factories produce.
• provide pollution. •Non-renewable •Bad for environment •Expensive
fossil fuels, coal, nuclear and Oil. Non-renewable energy sources that still provide energy. These types of energy have a big bad affect on the environment and can not be renewable.
OIL :fire:
http://renewable-solarenergy.com/oil-energy-uses-types.html
To produce oil we need to burn it which provides bad smoke in the air. It makes pollution which for uses unhealthy to breath as it flows through the air. Oil energy is not deigned to be environmentally friendly and only to produce the energy people want and need
•Smoke •Pollution •Not environmentally friendly
Oil is one type of energy generated and produced world wide. It provides fuel for cars, generating heat and to produced steam turbines. Although Oil energy is an effective way to produce energy, it can ruin the environment and be costly
Technology :star:
What Technology Produces Energy :<3:
Solar Pannels :smiley:
Solar panels produce energy efficiently and save a lot of fossil fuels. Evidence can be found in Elon Musk's unveiling of solar panel tiles for roof's video
Solar Tiles
. Solar panels save the need of burning fossil fuels and instead using renewable energy.
Wind Turbines :check:
Wind turbines produce energy efficiently and is safe for the environment. Using wind energy significantly saves fossil fuels and doesn't pollute the land. Wind is a renewable energy source which means we can mass produce it.
Link
Batteries :explode:
Batteries are an efficient source of energy. Evidence can be found in this website where it clearly states that a battery has 99 percent efficiency. This is important because saving fossil fuels is important for the future.
