Energy

1. Renwable energies

   • Hydroelectric dams:
     • It is clean and sustainable.
     • It can alter aquatic habitat, flooding previously dry areas.
     • Hydroelectric dams are systems designed and built to produce electrical energy by taking advantage of the flow of water courses.
   • Solar power
     • Solar energy is natural, does not pollute and will never run out.
     • Is not a constant energy. It fluctuates during the day, while at night it is not available.
     • Significantly reduces the carbon footprint. It is a clean energy that does not generate greenhouse gasses or pollution during its use. It is a renewable and sustainable energy. It
   • Wind power
     • Wind energy is a form of renewable energy that is obtained by harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity.
     • Lack of security in the existence of wind, The speed cannot exceed a limit and High voltage lines must be built
     • Energy that is renewed, Inexhaustible, Non-polluting and Reduces the use of fossil fuels

2. Non renewable energies

   • Crude Oil
     • It is a non-renewable resource. It is very polluting, due to combustion. Generates pollution from spills. It was a trigger for war conflicts.
     • Crude oil is a fossil fuel composed primarily of hydrocarbons, which may also contain small amounts of sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen.
     • Fertilizers, plastics, antifreeze, detergents, synthetic rubbers, dyes, explosives, plasticizing fibers, solvents... are products obtained from petroleum.
   • Natural gas
     • Natural gas is a non-renewable energy resource, it is a colorless, odorless and non-toxic fossil fuel
     • It is easy to obtain, to access or use you only have to open a valve or tap. It is an economical product to extract and transport. It has a high calorific value.
     • Misuse of this product may cause explosions, brings negative effects to the environment, related to global warming and climate change and Natural gas has no odor, so when a leak occurs it cannot be easily detected.
   • Coal
     • It is abundant throughout the world. It is economical compared to other energy sources, such as oil and natural gas, and it is versatile because it is not only burned directly, but can also be transformed into liquid or gaseous form.
     • It is a black sedimentary rock, very rich in carbon and with variable amounts of other elements such as hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen.
     • Increases carbon dioxide in the environment, Coal will run out one day and Mining destroys nature and humans.
   • Nuclear Power
     • Its generation capacity guarantees the electricity supply. Does not release toxic gases or polluting emissions
     • produces waste from the material used and causes concern about possible accidents or leaks
     • Form of energy that is released from the nucleus or central part of atoms, which is made up of protons and neutrons.
