Q

Wind energy trade offs

A

Easily powers 1 home, but for whole town whole backup facility game needed

17
Q

Tidal harness trade off

A

No chemical pollutions, but affects wildlife(fish)

18
Q

Solar energy trade offf

A

No pollutants, but some climates don’t support (need sun)

19
Q

Hydroelectric trade off

A

Highest efficient, very expensive $

20
Q

Geothermal trade off

A

Geothermal plants dont take up much room, but gasses and steam released into air and limited to certain locations

21
Q

Biomass trade off

A

Decrees amount of waste in landfill,does not provide as much energy

22
Q

Nuclear energy race off

A

Releases largest amount of energy w/ least amount of mass, but nuclear power plants generate radioactive waste

23
Q

Fossil fuels trade off

A

USA already has infrastructures, but contributes to global warming
