Geothermal, nuclear, fossil fuel, biomass
Fossil fuel trade off
Low price but releases harmful gasses
Nuclear energy trade off
Doesn’t create pollution but can cause harm to the surrounding area
Biomass trade off
Reduces trash but can hurt the environment
Geothermal trade off
Doesn’t release carbon Only certain places can operate them
Hydroelectric tradeoff
Create lots of energy but expensive to make
