Advantage: Coal is plentiful in many places and it is easy to access through mining

Disadvantage: Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is linked with asthma, cancer, heart and lung ailments, neurological problems, acid rain, global warming, and other severe environmental and public health impacts.

Advantage: the advantages of natural gas as an alternative fuel include its domestic availability, established distribution network, relatively low cost, and emissions benefits

Disadvantage: One of the biggest disadvantage of natural gas is that it emits carbon dioxide which is bad for our atmosphere

advantage: geothermal energy is a clean and a long lasting source of energy

Disadvantage: In small quantities, radiation isn't harmful—but the radioactive waste from nuclear energy production is incredibly dangerous. Storage of radioactive waste is a major challenge facing nuclear power plants

Advantage: Nuclear fission is nearly 8,000 times more efficient at producing energy than traditional fossil fuels. That's a considerable amount of energy density. Because nuclear energy is more efficient, it requires less fuel to power the plant and therefore creates less waste as well.

disadvantage: one of the biggest disadvantages of geo thermal energy is that it is very location specific
