The eco-wave is a method of getting renweable energy from the waves. It uses bouys attached to a pontoon that rise and fall with the waves. This pushes hydrulic fluid through a turbine. At the moment it is only producing 100MW for the island of Gibraltar however there have been plans in the works for the last six years to expand this to 1GW.

Renewable Energy and Taiwan: Solar Power

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Listen to this episode from Taiwan Talk on Spotify. Ciel et Terre is a French solar power developer specializing in floating solar panels. The company's Regional Business Development Manager Vivi Lee joins us to discuss how it is cooperating with existing industries, like fisheries, to not only increase Taiwan's capacity for generating renewable energy, but create a more stable business environment for these industries.

Advantages:
Lasts forever and most do not produce any waste or harmful gases like green house gases which can contribute to climate change
Disadvantages:
They can have an expensive initial costs and maintenance costs. They can also cause noise pollution and take up lots of space. They are also not nice to look at.

disadvantages:
- expensive to set up
- expensive to fix if broken
- ugly
- can take up lots of space
Advantages:
- can be used infinitly
- doesn't add to global warming
- cheeper running cost
- Once set up it can almost be left to run

Renewable Energy Sources are often only able to produce energy under certian Conditions, such as when it is windy or sunny. This makes them less reliable when compared to Foßil Fules, which are able to burn whenever they are avaliable.

can take up a lot of space that could be used for food for example

Renewables give off much less greenhouse gasses over long periods of time but can still emit them in the manufacturing process and will need maintenance too

# data[].attributes.body
however the setup cost for a few renewables are very expensive and can disrupt the surrounding habitats and wildlife especially with dams

# data[].attributes.body
Renewable energy can be intermittent. For example wind energy will not provide 100% of its energy all the time as wind is not reliable.

emit greenhouse gasses in the production process

# data[].attributes.body
Many renewable energy sources take up large amounts of space.

# data[].attributes.body
things like wind turbines arent the most aesthetically pleasing

# data[].attributes.body
Disadvantages:
- Can be expensive
- Unreliable
- Ruining cars
- Can be damaging to setup
Advantages:
- Lasts until we shut it down
- Doesn't release damaging emissions when activated

# data[].attributes.body
The non renewables can be piped around the world whereas the electricity is much harder to transport around the world

# data[].attributes.body
- Expensive
- Unreliable
- Setup can be harmful
- Damage to habitat
- Noise pollution
- Don't always look good

# data[].attributes.body
there are many advantages to renewables such as producing clean efficient energy that emits no harmful green house gases like CO2, Methane, Sulphur dioxide etc. They are also quite abundant and can replenish themselves within a persons lifetime.

- Better for the environment
- Won't run out
