🔌ENERGETIC SOURCES 💡
FUEL FOSSILS🛢
Oil
It's versatile for transportation and for being a raw material for plastics
Its extraction destroy ecosystems
It has a high energy density
It one of the main contributants to global warming
Its extraction generates geopolitical conflicts
Gas
It produces less carbon dioxide than other fuels
Its extraction pollutes water andreleases methane
It's energeticly efficient
Coal
Generates more pollutants than any source
Cheap and safe transport and extraction
Available everywhere and a reliable source
The extraction is risky for the workers
It has impact on the landscape and promotes deforestation
NUCLEAR ENERGIES ☢
It doesn't produce greenhouse gases
It's expensive to mantain a nuclear plant
The plants are safe, with only 3 accidents in the past 60 years
A possible accident has catastrophic consequences
There is enough uranium to keep the ativity until the nuclear fussion is discovered.
There is not a safe place to keep the radioactive waste
RENEWABLE ENERGIES 🔄 (an advantage is that they are neverending)
Solar energy
It hasn't greenhouse gas emission
If the day is cloudy it can't be produced
The production of the pannels use toxic elements
Wind energy
It's a clean energy
The turbines affect to the landscape and the bird's emigration routes
If there's no wind, it can't be produced
Hydropower
It's a clean energy
It alterates the flow of the rivers and the emigration routes of the fishes
If it doesn't rain and the river is dried up, it can't be produced
Geothermal energy
It's clean
In extreme situations can produce earthquakes
The plants cn only be built in specific localizations and are expensive to build
