Renewable energy can be replenished faster than it is used. I chose hydroelectric energy as my renewable energy.
Non-renewable energy is used faster than it can be replace. I chose nuclear energy as my non-renewable.
ProsRenewableMore efficient than many types of renewable energyConsistent
HYDROELECTRIC
Hydroelectric energy harnesses the energy of moving water it can be created with dams and canals.
ConsThe main con of hydroelectric energy is that dams, which are th most efficient way to produce hydroelectric energy, heavily interfere with aquatic ecosystems.
ProsVery efficientLow environmental impactEven though it's technically not renewable, there is enough uranium to last humanity thousands of years
NUCLEAR
Nuclear energy is created when a uranium reaction heats water to a boil. Despite often being called dangerous, fossil fuels kill hundreds of times more people each year
ConsIf nuclear technology fails it can be extremely dangerous, and toxic waste must be stored very carefuly.
