.
Coal oil gas
They are fossil fuels Three quarters of uk electricity comes from uk power stations powered by fossil fuels Affordable Large amount of energy Natural gas is environmentally friendly. Coal is bad for the environment Gas is toxic and flammable
Wind power
Wind power is made by wind turbines that take in kinetic energy from the wind. Its environmentally friendly
Renewable
Expensive to build/transport
Need the right location
How do we measure energy?
Joules or kilojoules
Nuclear energy
When energy is released during nuclear fission or fusion. Nuclear fusion is the combining of two light atoms to make a heavier one.
It reduces the energy released through fossil fuels. It could impact the environment heavily in a bad way. It is used to create electrical energy in many parts of the USA and Europe.
