Energy crisis and energy alternatives
Non- renewable energy sources
- e.g. fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear energy (uranium, putonium)
- Takes a long time to form (e.g. millions of years)
- Cannot be reused
Advantages:
- Cheap
- Readily available
- Efficient
- Multipurpose (e.g. oil for cars, heating)
Disadvantages:
- Running out
- Polluting or radioactive
Llevan un largo tiempo en formarse, no pueden ser reusadas. Son baratas, estan disponibles, eficaces y multiusos. Como desventaja: se agotan y son contaminantes.
