Disadvantage: Unwanted Side Effects
Power plants that burn biomass release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, two undesirable pollutants, into the air. Power plants that burn fossil fuel pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes Earth's temperature to rise. Nuclear power plants must find ways to dispose of radioactive waste safely. Building dams to create hydropower plants can affect wildlife and natural resources.
You may have lived without electricity when storms or accidents disabled power lines or transformers or experienced brownouts during which you received reduced electricity. These incidents may occur when power demands exceed a utility company's ability to provide it.
Paying the Costs
Unless you generate your own power using a source such as solar, you probably pay a monthly utility bill that varies between regions. If you get your electricity from your own solar or wind source, you have no monthly fees. In fact, it's sometimes possible for you to sell excess power you generate using these methods to utility companies. Although you must pay for solar equipment and installation, prices continue to drop as the market matures.
