Exploring Hydropower and Natural Gas as Energy Sources

This article examines the advantages and disadvantages of hydropower and natural gas as energy sources. Hydropower is renewable, inexpensive, and reduces fossil fuel demand, but it can harm wildlife and cause erosion. Natural gas generates electricity with less air pollution and is widely available, but it poses risks like flammability and ecosystem impacts. We also explore current applications of these energy forms, including electricity generation, heating, and more, highlighting their crucial roles in today's energy landscape.

  1. Hydropower & Natural Gas Energy sourcesBy: Justin & Jesse

  2. Important details

  3. Pros and cons of hydropower • Pros • Causes little pollution • Renewable • Inexpensive • Reduces the demand for fossil fules • Cons • Kills wild life • Be effective by drought • Large numbers of fish die each year • Erosion problems • Potential for floods

  4. How is the energy form used in present day? List 5 examples • To make energy • Lots of electricity • Used in millstones • Wave power • Tidal powers

  5. Natural gas Important details

  6. Pros and cons of natural gas • Pros • Generates electricity • Less air pollution • Used for heating • widely available • Cleanest fossil fuel • Cons • Very flammable and explosive • Pipe lines impact ecosystem • Burns cleanly, but still has emission • Cost are high • Lack of infrastructure makes gas resources unavailable for some areas.
