Ways to Produce Energy
There are many ways to produce energy, but are all of the ways good? Which way of producing energy is your favorite, which ones do you dislike? I really like looking into this stuff and reading articles about it.
Here are the documents:
Dic. 1
Doc. 2
Doc. 3
Doc. 4
Doc. 5
Doc. 6
Make sure that if you post, it is relative to this or another article and list the part of the article, and if it is another article, give a link.
Please list the pros and cons of your favorite, or least favorite one.

Re: Ways to Produce Energy
Here:
I think nuclear Powerplants are my least favorite because they are too much of a risk. Just look at the Chernobyl Disaster (doc. 3) I It spread through out the world through the air. They said it wouldn't happen again, but just look at Japan, and long Island. These killed a countless amount of people.
Pros:
No pollution, just steam (Doc. 7)
Cheaper than some other types of energy
Cons:
If something goes wrong it can kill MANY people, destroyed habitats, harmed animals, causes cancer, and more. (Doc. 2)
Uranium dies out after about 2,000,000,000 years , meaning we have that risk for that long.

Re: Ways to Produce Energy
Geothermal and hydrodynamic power are the cleanest in my opinion, because they are:
1. Renewable
2. No noise pollution
3. No water pollution (as long as hydro machine is sterile)
4. No smog
5. No nuclear meltdowns

Re: Ways to Produce Energy
I do think that I like solar power the best, though it may just be that I'm doing a research report on it. MY sources for the following info are my science book and Solar Power, by Ian Graham.
Pros:
Renewable
Clean, no pollution
quiet
Cons:
PV cells are expensive
can only collect sunlight during the day
