SOLAR POWER IS SAFE, REEWABLE, AND HAS A SMALL IMPACT.

Wind power which would be my 2nd choice is wrong, because it would hurt birds.

It costs a lot to get solar panels, and they work better in sunny areas, if you live somewhere very cold, and dark, it couldn't work well.

The other user pretty much covered it. I'm just here to help. :)

Solar Energy is best option of Coal power plant. It is safe as well as very minimal impact on environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solar energy is one of the best ways to build an energy. It uses captured sunlight and create photovoltaic power or “concentrated solar power” for solar heating. The use of solar power is increasing day by day.

Now subway, buses, college, institute all use solar energy for their electricity consumption. Recently solar powered aircraft whose name is impulse2 is made. Because of zero emission of carbon dioxide government move towards this option.

Disadvantage: It is very costly and takes more space for installation
