Energy Resources: Solar, Geothermal, Nuclear, Biomass, Coal, Oil, Natural Gas, Wind, Hydroelectric, Fossil Fuels, Tidal 1) Zero emissions, expensive, renewable, captures energy from the sun 2) Uses energy from radioactive material, like uranium; requires the building of a power plant; thermal pollution, but safety concerns 3) Burns trees, plants, and manure for energy 4) Uses heat from deep within the Earth to heat water 5) Harnesses energy from the movement of a river 6) Zero emissions, noise pollution, requires open space, affects migratory patterns of birds 7) Cleaner fossil fuel than coal or oil, but a nonrenewable resource; frequently used now 8) Harnesses energy from the changes in the depth of the ocean 9) Used for most of our electricity; high pollution; requires mining and power plants. 10) Used for gasoline; high pollution; nonrenewable; wars have been fought for control of this resource; spills cause great disturbance of ocean ecosystems. 11) A hydrocarbon deposit, such as petroleum, coal, or natural gas, derived from living matter of a previous geologic time and used for energy production
