Question

Merits and Demerits of:-
1). Solar Energy
2). Geothermal Energy
3). Wind Energy
4). Hydroelectric Energy
5). Nuclear Energy.

PLS GIVE THE ANSWERS ACCORDING TO THE POINTS OFFERED. DON'T GIVE SILLY ANSWERS.

Answer 1

SOLAR ENERGY

MERITS -

NO SMOKE -IT CAUSES NO SMOKE

RENEWABLE -IT IS PRESENT IN UNLIMITED AMOUNT

FREE OF COST -SOLAR ENERGY CAN BE USED AND NO ONE IS TO BE PAID FOR IT

LOW MAINTENANCE - LITTLE OR NO MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED FOR SOLAR DEVICES


DEMERITS -

EXPENSIVE - IT'S INSTALLATION COST IS VERY HIGH .

WEATHER PROBLEM -IT IS DIFFICULT TO HARNESS THIS ENERGY ON CLOUDY DAYS

POWER LOSS - IN SOME DEVICES THE PHOTOVOLTIAC TECHNOLOGY IS NOT VERY EFFICIENT THAT IS IT CONVERTS SOME AMOUNT OF SOLAR ENERGY TO ELECTRIC OR USABLE ENERGY




GEOTHERMAL ENERGY -

MERITS -

IT PRODUCES LITTLE OR NO SMOKE

IT IS RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY (UNLIMITED)

HAS LESS COST OF INSTALLATION



DEMERITS -

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY PLANTS CANNOT BE SET EVERY WHERE



WIND ENERGY

MERITS-

PRODUCES LITTLE OR NO SMOKE

PRESENT IN UNLIMITED AMOUNT

EFFICIENT IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS WINDY CLIMATE



DEMERITS -

INSTALLATION COST IS VERY HIGH

A LOT OF AREA IS ALSO REQUIRED TO MAKE A WIND FARM

WIND SPEED OF MINIMUM 15KM/HR

IS REQUIRED WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE EVERY TIME



HYDRO ELECTRIC ENERGY -

MERITS-

PRODUCES LITTLE OR NO SMOKE

RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY (UNLIMITED )



DEMERITS -

HYDROELECTRIC PLANT DISPLACES A LOT OF TRIBLE PEOPLE

DISTURBES THE FAUNA AND FLORA OF THE AREA

SUBMERGES LAND AND TREES WHICH CAUSE THE DEATH OF AQUATIC LIFE



NUCLEAR ENERGY -

MERITS-

PRODUCES LITTLE OR NO SMOKE

ONCE A NUCLEAR PLANT IS SET UP IT CAN BE USED CONTINUOSLY FOR 2 YEARS

IT GENERATES A HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY



DEMERITS -

INSTALLATION COST IS VERY HIGH

SAFE DISPOSAL OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL IS ALSO A PROBLEM

THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF NUCLEAR LEAKS OR ACCIDENTS (SAFETY )

URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM (NUCLEAR FUELS) ARE PRESENT IN LESS AMOUNT


I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ANSWER


THANKS
