ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental Impacts
-
Fuel transport
Oil is transported by means of oil pipelines and oil tankers. Oil pipelines can suffer accidents caused by nature or human error, wich result in uncontrolled spills.
Electricity generation
Large hydroelectric power plants require water reservoires covering large areas, wich profundly change the natural cycle of rivers, flood large land areas and destroy ecosystems in addition to increasing the rsik of accidents.
Final energy use
The fuels we use in vehicules and heating systems emit gases and particles similar to those generated by conventional thermal power plants.
