Renewable Energy Resources

One advantage of wind energy is

• may harm birds

• installation of turbines is expensive

• wind is inconsistent

• does not produce pollution

This type of renewable energy is produced when organic matter is burned to heat water into steam which then turns a turbine, which in turn powers an electrical generator.

• Biomass

• Wind

• Solar

• Hydroelectric

What is one disadvantage of using solar energy?
