Coal
Floods a valley so destroys farmland
Oil
Floods the mouth of a river, damages
habitats
Gas
Needs a lot of land to grow plants, produces
carbon dioxide
Nuclear
Noisy, unreliable, spoils the view.
Wind
Only works where Earth's crust is thin
Waves
Produces carbon dioxide which causes
global warming
Tidal
Produces carbon dioxide which causes
global warming and sulphur dioxide that
causes acid rain
Biomass
Produces carbon dioxide which causes
global warming and sulphur dioxide that
causes acid rain, but not as much as coal.
Solar
Produces radioactive waste that is harmful
to living things
Geothermal
Spoils the view from beaches
Hydroelectric
Unreliable, only works when sun is out,
expensive.
