Pros:
- clean energy source
- abundant renewable energy
- lowers electrical bill
Cons:
- highly expensive
- requires a lot of space
- weather dependent]]> 2021-02-05 18:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169801622 https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169830369 Wind energy is produced through a process where wind is used to generate electricity. It is a type of renewable energy. Wind turbines are used to convert kinetic wind energy into mechanical energy which can be used to power various machines.
Pros:
- it is cost effective
- is sustainable
-  is a clean fuel source
Cons
- wind turbines may not be the best use of land
- turbines may cause noise pollution
- may impact local life (birds flying into the turbines)

Water is used to turn the blades of turbines in dams where the kinetic energy is then turned into electricity.
Pros:
- very versatile (can be used on a large scale or a small scale)
- does not generate pollution
- it is safe and low risk
Cons:
- disrupts waterways affecting aquatic organisms
- it is expensive
- droughts may cause lower energy output]]> 2021-02-05 19:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169866580 turyan4298 https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169883479 Nuclear energy is a type of non renewable energy where atoms split in a reactor to heat water into steam then turns a turbine which generates electricity.
Pros:
- requires low amount of fuel
- low cost of operation
- reliable source of energy
Cons:
- radioactive waste
- expensive to build
- contributes to climate change]]> 2021-02-05 19:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169883479 https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169930592 Natural gas energy is a nonrenewable energy that forms deep below the earth. Methane is one example of a compound in natural gas. The burning of these natural gases produce energy.
Pros:
- many different uses
- cleanest of all the fossil fuels
- burns efficiently
Cons:
- emits carbon dioxide when burned
- requires long distance transmission and transportation
- has to be stored under high pressure.]]> 2021-02-05 19:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1169930592 yamamotomadelein0197 https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1170188883 Oil is a nonrenewable form of energy. It can also be put into the category of a liquid fossil fuel. Oil builds up in liquid form between the layers of the Earth's crust and is pumped out through wells. 
Pros: 
- crude oil is readily available
- oil can be used for various purposes 
- has high energy density
- can be stored easily
Cons: 
- major source of pollution 
- fossil fuel that leads to global warming 
- plastic is obtained through oil refining 
- can cause acid rain]]> 2021-02-05 20:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1170188883 yamamotomadelein0197 https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1170212877 Coal is a nonrenewable form of energy. It can take up to millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that live for millions of years in swampy forests. Layers of rock and dirt cover these plants. 
Pros: 
- there is an abundance of this resource
- it is affordable to produce and sell
- has a low capitol expense needed to build coal-powered generation plants
Cons: 
- releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere 
- dangers are created through extraction process
- leads to global warming ]]> 2021-02-05 20:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1170212877 ngoethan3666 https://padlet.com/turyan4298/lsyqrgfg84ilm7lv/wish/1170218864 Geothermal energy is renewable form of energy. It works by pumping hot water and steam from underground to the surface. Upon reaching the surface, steam builds pressure to spin the turbine which generate electricity.
Pros:
- reliable
- works in most climates
- minimal landscape footprint
Cons:
- electricity is needed to operate the pumps
- land requirements
- green house emissions
