Explanation:
Renewable energy is energy from sources that are naturally replenishing but flow-limited; renewable resources are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount of energy that is available per unit of time.
We define non-renewable energy as energy resources that tend to deplete. The rate of consumption of these resources is greater than that of their regeneration.
Answer:
Coal: non-renewable energy
advantages:
-Continuous production
-Fossil fuel powered power plants are reliable sources of energy (they can supply electricity when needed)
-Low fuel cost
disadvantages:
-They are not renewable. Fossil fuels took millions of years to form
-One of the main causes of climate change and global warming is the excessive use and burning of these fuels
-Coal and natural gas also release sulfur dioxide when burned. This gas can cause respiratory problems in living beings. It is also a major component of acid rain
-The cost of the facilities is high. It is expensive to build power plants
Wind power: renewable energy
advantages:
-They are more environmentally friendly
-Do not generate waste in the long term
-These are energies from sources that are inexhaustible
-Local economic prosperity
disadvantages:
-They depend on atmospheric phenomena
-It requires a greater investment because in many cases it is not yet on the market
-In some cases it is not easy to carry out its storage, so it is necessary to consume at the moment
Hydroelectric power: renewable energy
advantages:
-It produces energy based on needs, that is, its production is flexible.
-It is stable, it does not depend on the rain to produce electricity, since there are important reserves of water.
-It's cheap. The most expensive is the construction of the hydroelectric plant.
disadvantages:
-It can negatively affect the environment, in terms of the construction of hydroelectric plants and the changes it generates in the ecosystem
-Seasons of many droughts can be a problem
-It is difficult to find the best place to get the most out of this renewable energy
-Building a hydroelectric power station is very expensive
