The Problem with Clean Energy by Steven Candito https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n Research Project en-us 2021-12-07 18:21:05 UTC 2021-12-09 18:25:10 UTC hello@padlet.com Pros with Clean Energy-SC 22stcand https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934259735 "Local governments can dramatically reduce their carbon footprint by purchasing or directly generating electricity from clean, renewable sources."

Some pros with clean energy are Renewable energy, a better economy, and giving jobs to people

The main problem with renewable energy is that it is very inefficient and very high initial cost even if there is next to no maintenance required.

It is also hard to start large scale renewable because there is no infrastructure to support the structures

The problem with investors helping fund energy farms is the cost per kilowatt, for the initial cost it is almost double coal plants costs for the energy created, Now they are seeing that the free fuel and the very little maintenance it will be worth it after a few years of working.]]> 2021-12-07 18:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934279868 Advantages of Renewable Energy-SC 22stcand https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934294505 "Renewable resources won’t run out, which cannot be said for many types of fossil fuels"

In this article, it says that cleaner energy won't run out and I just realized that that is a very true point

We cant fully go to renewable energy because they do not make enough power for the rush times in the day so there will be massive power outs without coal and other power sources. batteries cant store the power efficiently enough and they are too big are too expensive.]]> 2021-12-07 18:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934299448 People don't like the look of turbines - DP 22dypobl https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934314576 https://www.thegreenage.co.uk/why-do-people-hate-wind-turbines/

Some people like the look of turbines and some hate them, they hate them because of there huge size and unlike the soler panel that hides on the ground it stands up for all to see.]]> 2021-12-07 18:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934314576 Cons of Wind Turbines-SC 22stcand https://padlet.com/22stcand/l6p43lhh3tm7y74n/wish/1934314844 This claim is very interesting because it is like grabbing at straws to have a counter claim

"The towers are visually displeasing to some people."

When burning coal for power you u out 10 times the amount of Co2 into the air than what you get from a wind turbine

"Unfortunately, the efficiency of renewable technologies is not that high compared with traditional energy conversion devices. "

" This makes renewable energy technologies more durable, and therefore, you will spend less money on maintenance and repair."
