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
Energias no renovables: carbón, petróleo, gas natural...
Llevan un largo tiempo en formarse, no pueden ser reusadas. Son baratas, estan disponibles, eficaces y multiusos. Como desventaja: se agotan y son contaminantes.
