Renewable energy resources will never run out, they do not produce harmful waste products, and they can be used in remote places
However, they can cover large areas, and they can disturb natural habitats
Different energy resources can be evaluated in terms of reliability, environmental effects, pollution and waste
Big Energy Issues
-
Nuclear power stations are expensive to build, run and decomission
-
-
Nuclear power stations, fossil fuel power stations that use carbon capture technology, and renewable energy resources are all likely to be needed for future energy supplies
