Today was probably the shortest exhibition research day in this week. We just had 2 periods (1 hour 20 min) to research and answer some of our questions.
Today I did a lot of research about “What are the pros and cons of renewable and non-renewable energy sources?” This is what I have written down: Renewable Energy (Pros) -Has a smaller impact on the environment -Will never run out -Doesn’t cost much money to run -Reduce our needs Renewable Energy (Cons) -Sometimes it’s not very reliable -Very expensive to build -Produces much less energy Non-renewable Energy (Pros) -Usually very reliable -Produces much more energy Non-Renewable Energy (Cons) -Usually has a bigger impact on the environment -Will eventually run out -More expensive -Hazardous waste might be produced Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z8k9v9q/revision/1 I also did some research about “What do non-renewable energy sources do to the environment?” This is what I found: Fossil Fuels (Coal,Oil,Natural Gas): -Releases Carbon Dioxide (aka CO2 or Greenhouse gas) when burnt Nuclear -Releases Sulphur Dioxide (aka SO2 or acid rain) when burnt Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/z8k9v9q/revision/2
