1. Question:
Is eco energy reliable?
By The Earth

2. Yes
• Eco energy is reliable because we use the weather and there’s no limit to that.
• It also cuts down the amount of fuel being released into the environment.
• We could also use electricity to power cars which means that the fuel could be put
to good use instead of being wasted on powering cars.
• If we proceed through the future and keep on using petrol there could well be no
more. I know that we can use fossil fuel but then that fossil fuel could pollout the
sea.

3. No
• If solar panels or wind turbines break the UK power system will grind to a
halt.
• In summer the wind in the UK is not very reliable and this is the source
which the wind turbines need to have to operate to their maximum power.
• The UK is not a very sunny country therefor there would not be a lot of
energy created.
• There is also another downside, during the winter months darkness falls
very quickly. Consequently solar panels may not have enough power from
the sun to provide energy for peoples homes.
