Homework: Renewable and nonrenewable energy sources

the big benefits of using
renewable sources for our energy
supply:
They'll never run out. That's right -
these natural energy sources can
replace themselves, making them
sustainable and abundant natural
resources.
They don't damage our
planet. These clean energy
sources are non-pollutant,
produce minimal or no waste
products, and don't contribute to
global warming - great news for
the environment!
They're low-maintenance energy
sources. Renewable energy
facilities tend to require less
maintenance than traditional
generators. And as they come
from natural, abundant resources,
the operating costs are generally
lower too.
They're good news for regional
areas. As most renewable energy
projects are located in regional
areas - away from the big cities -
they can bring economic benefits
to these places. For example, this
could come from more people
using local services.

DISADVANTAGE At the present time, most One of the major disadvantages of non

sources. It can be difficult to
generate quantities of electricity
that are as large as those
produced by traditional fossil fuel
generators.

What is a carbon footprint?


Everything we do, buy, or eat impacts a person’s carbon footprint either directly or indirectly. Driving
to work or flying cross country for a vacation directly results in carbon emissions, while buying
something online from China has an indirect carbon emission effect. The important thing to realize is
that while carbon emissions don’t directly affect people or the environment, they do cause the
planet to warm, which then has a lot of impacts including rising sea levels with their impacts to
people and property, more severe wildfires and droughts and the resulting impacts to nature,
agriculture, etc.
