 Geothermal
Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core
of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can
be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into
several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together.I would like to
take a moment to share some insights about geothermal energy, a
sustainable and eco-friendly resource that harnesses the Earth's internal
Geothermal power plants draw fluids from
heat for power generation and heating. This renewable energy source is

hot liquid then drives turbines that accessed through geothermal plants or systems. Not only does
generate electricity before it is re-injected geothermal energy offer a reliable supply of electricity with a significantly

heating solutions for residential and commercial buildings. As we strive
for a more sustainable future, investing in and promoting geothermal
energy could play a vital role in reducing our dependence on
nonrenewable resources while combating climate change.

heavy oils. All contain carbon and were
formed as a result of geologic processes

produced by photosynthesis, a process that
began in the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5
billion years ago).

Hydro Energy
A conventional dam holds water in a man-made lake, or reservoir, behind it. When water is
released through the dam, it spins a turbine connected to a generator that produces
electricity. The water returns to the river on the downstream side of the dam.

Advantages Disadvantages
.It is clean and sustainable. .Higher initial Costs.
.It is a very flexible resource. . .Carbon and Methane Emissions.
.It reduces the risk of flooding. .Limited Plant Locations.
Nuclear energy
Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called
fission.
Advantages
it's a low-carbon energy source.
It has a small carbon footprint compared to alternatives like fossil fuels.
It's key to combating climate change and reaching net zero.
It's safe and reliable – providing us with power whatever the weather.
Disadvantages
Nuclear waste: The waste generated by nuclear reactors remains radioactive for tens to
hundreds of thousands of years (1),Nuclear proliferation, National security and accidents
 Tidal/wave
Tidal energy is power produced by the
surge of ocean waters during the rise
and fall of tides. Tidal energy is a
renewable source of energy.The big
disadvantage of tidal power is that it
costs a lot of money to get all those
turbines and cables underwater. And
they could have negative effects on
the environment – confusing or even
injuring sea-life. But, in the main, Tida
is a clean, renewable source of
energy.
