Energy resources
Non Finite
Renewable energy
Better for the environment
Wind power
Solar Cells
Tidal Barrages
Hydro electrical power
Biomass
Fossil Fuels
Finite - Non renewable
Natural resources that form underground over millions of years.
Typically burnt to provide energy
Against Non Finite
Initial set up costs are quite high
Rely on external factors
Wind farms can be noisy
Nuclear power
Produces Dangerous Waste
Work in a similar way to fossil fuels power stations
Produces heat to create steam that drives the power stations
For Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuels are reliable
The running costs are quite low
fairly cost effective
For Nuclear Power
It is reliable
Quite cheap
Clean and produces very low levels of greenhouse gases
For Non Finite
Smaller environmental impact
Energy provided is usually free
provide clean energy
Against Nuclear Power
It uses finite resources
Costs a lot to build and maintain
The waste is dangerous
Against Fossil fuels
They will eventually run out
Extraction has environmental impacts
release greenhouse gases
