energy
- solar
  - disadvantages
    - high initial cost
    - no solar power at night so large battery bank needed
    - cloudy days don't produce as much energy
  - advantages
    - reduced need on foreign oil/fuel
    - can be installed anywhere
    - causes no greenhouse gasses/ pollution free
    - low maintenance
  - Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity
- wind
  - advantages
    - no pollution, only in initial production
    - supports agriculture
    - local ownership
  - disadvantages
    - no wind= no energy
    - costs a lot to store the energy
    - temporary employment
  - Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power
- hydropower
  - Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.
  - advantages
    - clean fuel source
    - doesn't burn fossil fuels
    - controlled to suit energy demands
    - pollution only occurs in production
    - very reliable as the earth is 71% water
  - disadvantages
    - initial expense to create a dam to contain water
    - water droughts
    - limited reservoirs
    - environmental consequences
