ENERGETIC SOURCES
Renewable Resources
Wind energy
Advantages
Is a green energy that reduce the carbon footprint
Long useful life of wind turbines.
It is considered cheap energy
Disadvanatges
The manufacturing of wind turbines produces polluting substances
La velocidad no puede exceder un límite
Wind farms occupy large areas
Biomass
Advantages
Biomass is a renewable resource
Biomass is a very reliable form of electricity
Biomass contributes to reducing waste
Disadvantages
The costs
Space needs
Negative environmental impacts
Solar energy
Advantages
Is rewnable and sostenaible
A difference between other can heat
Doesn't require a constant extraction
Reduce conseiderable de carbon footprint
Disadvantages
At first is very expensive
Have a low performance
Porduce solar panels produce a big quantity of gasesof house green efects.
Non-renewable sources
Fosil fuels
Advantages
High energy density
Ease of transportation and storage
Relatively cheap compared to other energy sources
Disadvantages
Negative environmental impact
Extraction and transportation can cause damage to the environment
They are not a renewable energy source and will deplete over time
Minerals
Advantages
It is one of the most abundant sources of energy in the world
Can be transformed into liquid or gaseous form
Is not expensive
Disadvantages
Mineral power plants are the main source of air pollution
Air pollution from the burning of minerals represents a health hazard.
Nuclear energy
Adventages
Does not produce greenhouse gases
It is a constant and planable energy all year round.
Its operating costs are low
High energy production with low fuel
Disadvanteges
Produces waste
Concern possible accidents or leaks,
High radioactivity
Potentially Renewable Resources
Fresh water
Advantages
They can be replenished nnaturally
Disadventages
The rate of replenishment can be slower than their rate of consumption or use
If they are overexploted thay are not sustainably and they became non-renewable
Soil
Living organism
