Coal, oil, and natural gas supply human being with most of its power.
However, not only are supplies of these fuels limited, but they are a major resource
of pollution. Therefore, it’s important to improve, explore and develop such
alternative energy sources as nuclear, water, solar, and wind power. Each of these
alternatives, however, has advantages and disadvantages.
Nuclear power factories efficiently produce large amount of electricity
without polluting the atmosphere; however, they are costly to build and maintain,
and thy are the difficult problem of what to do with nuclear waste. Hydroelectric
power in expensive and environmentally safe, but impractical for communities
located far from moving water. Wing power is pollution-free source of renewable
energy but it cannot be used in many parts of the world where there is insufficient
wind. Solar power is renewable, it does not cause pollution and it does not add the
earth’s heat load. However, it is difficult to collect and store. Solar power also
requires expensive equipment.
1. Coal, oil and natural gas are pollution-free sources of energy.
2. Hydroelectric power is expensive and always available everywhere.
3. Wind power doesn’t pollute the environment.
