NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCES OF ENERGY

Non pollutingLow cost of production

Noise pollution.Harmful to birds.Disturbs radio & T.V. reception

WIND

Clean Eco friendly and always available.

Located far away from cities so costly to transport.

GEOTHERMAL

Inexhaustible.Non polluting.

Expensive.Diffused source ,so gets wasted.

SOLAR ENERGY

Non polluting.Inexhaustible

Destroys habitat.Difficult to harness.

TIDAL ENERGY

Emits large amount of energy.

Generates radioactive wastes.Expensive.

NUCLEAR ENERGY

Low cost.Easy to operate.Makes use of bio wastes.

Causes green house effect.
