    The document discusses two renewable energy sources - hydroelectric and geothermal - that are currently being used to generate electricity. Hydroelectric includes 5 dams that generate a total of 560 MW annually at a cost of $500,000 per year. Geothermal includes 4 plants that generate 544 MW annually at a cost of $4 million per year. These sources are identified as more viable options compared to other alternatives like nuclear, fossil fuels, wind, and biomass due to their clean energy output and relatively lower construction costs.

    Using energy

     Hydroelectric energy
     Geothermal energy
     Why we choose these energy and why not others
    Plan

     Hydroelectric
     Already 5, each produce 112MW
     Total 560 MW
     Running cost each year around $500,000

     Geothermal
     Already 4, each produce 136MW
     Total 544 MW
     Running cost each year around $4,000,000
    Advantages

     2 of these energy is safe and environmental friendly


     Produce enough energy
     Don’t cost money to build more

    Why we choose these energy and why
    not others ?
     Nuclear: produce harmful gas, dangerous
     Fossil fuel: really bad for the environment, cost money ( buy materials to
    burn, build more fossil fuel power stations, break down the nuclear power
    station )
     Wind: produce less energy (35MW), take too much space
     Biomass: produce less energy( 25MW ), expensive, cost money to break down
    the nuclear power stations, bad for the environment
    Nuclear Fossil fuel Wind Geothermal Hydro Biomass
