produce very little waste products and can be replenished in a relatively short amount of time

exist in a limited supply and are used up faster than they can be replaced

The wind turbine didnt work unless it was sunny

The wind turbine required gasoline to work

The wind turbine would not supply power unless there was wind

Wind tunnels

water heated by magma produces steam that can generate electricity

when wind blows and creates electricity

when electricity trapped in undergroud caves is pumped out

a plant can be built ANYWHERE

It uses the heat from the sun

it can provide power 24 hours a day
