Non-renewable Energy Sources, Energy Sources - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Cheap operating costs.
      - Relatively cheap cost to construct.
      - Energy supply of 5 Billion Years.
    - - Is not very effective at Night.
      - Requires a large area to generate a viable amount of electricity.
      - Disrupts the local ecosystem by occupying the land.
  - - - Very reliable source of heat.
      - Extremely cheap operating costs.
      - Relatively simple to construct.
    - - Increases the risk of tectonic activity as most sites are constructed on plate boundaries which have the characteristics of producing earthquakes that can damage infrastructure.
      - Extremely dangerous to initially construct as digging a hole into the Earth can lead the simplest mistakes to have the worst of consequences.
      - Expensive to construct.
  - - - Cheap costs to operate.
      - Very clean, does not produce any sort of emissions.
      - The winds are free energy.
    - - Very loud and disruptive to the environment around it.
      - Wind is incredibly unreliable.
      - Not effective in some places, such as the forests.
  - - - Constant source of energy.
      - Often uses cheap and useless plants as biodiesel.
      - Can be grown in both artificial and natural habitats.
    - - Burning this fuel produces greenhouse gasses.
      - Plants require a large area to grow.
      - Plants need to be grown quickly and in large numbers to be viable for energy production.
  - - - Extremely reliable.
      - Inexpensive operating costs.
      - Produces a relatively larger amount of energy compared to other renewable energy.
    - - It will disrupt any ecosystem present in the river.
      - Loud and a nuisance to people.
      - Incredibly expensive to purchase a site on the river and to construct compared to other sources of energy.
  - - - Takes away useless waste and puts them to good use.
      - Cheap or even free if taking excess material from farms.
      - Reliable source of energy.
    - - Low-density energy source, meaning there is not that much energy inside.
      - Burning releases greenhouse gasses that contribute to climate change.
      - Sometimes unethical if using corpses.
