Conventional energy sources include Nuclear, Wind, Wave, Tidal, Geothermal, Solar, Biomass, Hydro-electricity, etc.
Advantages of these sources are as follow..
.
NUCLEAR :-
Nuclear fuel does not make harmful greenhouse gases.
You only need a very small amount of nuclear fuel to make a lot of energy.
WIND :-
Wind is free and will not run out so the cost is in building the wind turbine.
Wind power generation does not create greenhouse gases.
There are very few safety risks with wind turbines.
WAVE :-
Waves are free and will not run out so the cost is in building the power station.
Wave power does not produce greenhouse gases.
There are very few safety risks with wave power generation.
TIDAL:-
Tides are free once the power station has been built and will not run out.
No greenhouse gases are produced when we make the electricity.
We know exactly when the tides happen so we know when electricity will be made.
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY :-
Geothermal energy does not produce greenhouse gases.
The energy source is free and will not run out.
SOLAR :-
The energy from the Sun is free.
The sun does not produce greenhouse gases.
The sun will always be there during our lifetime.
BIOMASS :-
The fuel is cheap and can use things that we might otherwise throw away.
We can find waste everywhere and should not run out.
HYDRO-ELECTRICITY :-
When the electricity is generated, no greenhouse gases are made.
The water used is free.
It is a renewable energy source.
Non-renewable options such as coal, wood, natural gas, etc. still have a number of advantages. For example, most of the world's energy requirements are still fulfilled by the non-renewable energy sources. More specifically, the countries with the highest growth rate of energy requirements, such as China and India are mostly dependent on these sources. Most of our energy infrastructures are designed on the basis of these sources and hence adoption of renewable options requires change in infrastructure. Non-renewable sources still have higher energy conversion efficiency as compared to renewable options, such as solar energy or wind energy. Hence, we are likely to be dependent on the non-renewable energy options for near future.
