Renewable Energy
by Daniel Benitez
1. Benefits
1.1. Pollution
1.1.1. Some energy systems create no air pollution emisions
1.1.2. geotermal and biomass emissions are much lower than non-renewable energy sources
1.2. Climate change
1.2.1. It can combat climate change, because it creates no direct greenhouse gas emissions
1.3. Polution
1.3.1. Renewable energy can decrease pollution and therefore threats to our health
1.4. Cost
1.4.1. Once built renewable facilities cost very little to operate
2. What is a renewable Energy
2.1. Renewable energy is generated from sources that naturally replanish themselves and never run out
3. Downsides
3.1. Creation of energy
3.1.1. It is difficult to renewable energy to generate power on the same large scale as fossil fuels
3.2. Wildlife
3.2.1. Building wind farms and dams can disrupt migration patterns and lead to ecological destruction
3.3. Solar and Wind energy are intermittent
3.3.1. They only generate power when the sun is shining or while the wind is blowing
