Alt Energy Sources
Solar
-
-
sometimes not available
ie, night time, winter, etc
Clean energy,
not bad for environment
-
-
-
Geothermal
Upfront Cost is more expensive because of testing and ground analysis but it is an efficient source of energy if it can be used

The hot water can directly heat the home by running through pipes in the home, or go through a heat exchanger (out buildings that transfers heat to the building.
Geothermal power plants can convert geothermal heat into electricity. The steam turns turbines on a generator which converts the steam to electricity.
-
Can release harmful gasses into the atmosphere, and can lower ground temperatures
Wind
-
Different Speeds due
to Location, Season, and
the surrounding structures
Clean energy,
NO CO2 emmission
-
-
Noise, birds, land
availability are
disadvantages
-
-
Biomass
made from organic matter
like plants, trees, waste
-
Used for fuels,or bio-oils

Not fully clean, creates CO2
Kinetic Energy(moving water) to mechanical energy (turbines) converted to electrical energy(in generator)
