Solar Energy
Advantages- Solar power is pollution-free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation. Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels. Renewable clean power that is available every day of the year, even cloudy days produce some power.
Disadvantages- It's Not 100% Reliable. This means that when the sun is not shining, there is no generation of energy. High Initial Capital Costs.Materials Used to Make Solar Panels Can Cause Pollution.
Tidal energy
Advantages- Tides are easy to predict, inexpensive to maintain, are a reliable source of renewable energy and does not produce green house gases or other.
Disadvantages- The cost: building tidal power plants is currently pretty expensive. Effects on the environment: tidal power plants aren't always good for the environment around them, even though the energy they produce is environmentally-friendly.
