Which is not a benefit of renewable energy?

With this type of renewable energy wind turns a large turbine which turns a generator to produce electricity

With this type of renewable energy, Photovoltaic cells (PV Cells) found in solar panels can convert the sun’s energy into electricity.

With this type of renewable energy flowing water, usually from a river, turns a turbine which then generates electricity.

With this type of renewable energy, heat from the Earth's interior heats up water that is then used for heat or to make electricity.

With this type of renewable energy, turbines (like small wind turbines) are placed in the ocean near the land. These turbines are moved by the waves of the ocean.

With this type of renewable energy, natural waste is burned in a power plant, which heats steam that turns a turbine to produce electric.
