Om - Biomass
Geothermal, hydropower, Uranium and Many More
Other energy Sources
Biomass is one of many energy sources that people around the world use. Geothermal, hydropower, and uranium are some of the other sources people use. What are those other energy sources like?
Geothermal
- “High temperature geothermal resources capable of producing electricity are not economically available in all parts of the nation.” (The Need Project 2012)
- “Geothermal steam and hot water contain traces of hydrogen sulfide and other gases as well as chemicals that are harmful at high concentrations.” (The Need Project 2012)
- "Dry steam reservoirs are the most efficient, but they are very rare." (The Need Project 2012)
Hydropower
- "When a hydropower dam is built, thousands of acres of nearby land are flooded to create a reservoir." (The Need Project 2012)
- "Dams can disturb the migration and spawning of fish population in the river." (The Need Project 2012)
Uranium
- "The construction of nuclear power plants is very expensive compared to fossil fuel plants." (The Need Project 2012)
- "Uranium is a nonrenewable energy source." (The Need Project 2012)
- "The main health risk from a nuclear power plant is potential radiation exposure." (The Need Project 2012)
- "An accident at a nuclear power plant could cause widespread damage if people or the environment were exposed to high-levels of radioactivity." (The Need Project 2012)
