This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various renewable energies including solar energy, wind energy, water energy, biomass, and geothermal energy. Some key advantages mentioned are that solar, wind, and water energies are clean and respect the environment, while biomass can be produced everywhere and is unlimited. However, disadvantages include that solar and wind energies can only be used in certain locations and the electricity generated cannot travel far. Water energy requires dams that can damage habitats. Geothermal energy is only available in a few locations with volcanic activity.

RENEWABLE ENERGIES
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

2. Advantages
SOLAR ENERGY
• The solar panels are easy
to install.
• It can generate energy for
own consume.
• It is clean and respect
habitats and biodiversity.

3. Disadvantages
SOLAR ENERGY
• The electricity generated
cannot travel very far.
• It cannot be used by many
people at the same time.
• Engines cannot work with
solar energy yet.
• It can be used only in sunny
places.

4. Disadvantages
WIND ENERGY
• The electricity generated
cannot travel very far.
• It cannot be used by many
people at the same time.
• Engines cannot work with wind
energy yet.
• It can be used only in windy
places.
• It can make a landscape uglier.

5. advantages
WIND ENERGY
• It is a clean type of energy
that respects the
environment.
• It can produce electricity for
the surrounding area.
• It is used in many places in
the world.

6. Disadvantages
WATER ENERGY
• There are not enough dams
built to provide electricity
to a whole country.
• Dams or reservoirs can
destroy habitats, so they
cannot be built everywhere.
• When it doesn’t rain
(drought) energy cannot be
generated.

7. advantages
WATER ENERGY
• It is a clean type of energy
that respects the
environment.
• It can produce quite a lot of
electricity.
• It is used in many places with
long and wide rivers.

8. Advantages and disadvantages
BIOMASS
•It releases carbon
dioxide into the
atmosphere.
•It can be produced
everywhere and it is
unlimited.

9. advantages and disadvantages
GEOTHERMAL
• It is a clean type of energy
that respects the
environment.
• It can produce electricity for
the surrounding area.
• It is generated only in places
with volcanic activity and
there are only a few in the
world.
