Energy Drawbacks
Because every energy-producing source has some drawbacks and negative issues, it is important for society to choose wisely when it comes to developing electrical generating sources. This paper reviews those issues.
Wind Energy: there are many advantages to wind energy, including: a) it is non-polluting (no fossil fuels are burned in the process); b) less space is used than by building a big power station (and windmills can be built in agriculture areas because crops can be grown around the base of a windmill); and c) wind energy can bring electrical power to remote areas (Clean Energy Ideas).
Wind Energy: the downside of wind power: a) wind is not always reliable and consistent; b) birds and bats fly into the turbines and are killed; c) there is noise associated with the turbines; and d) rural residents don't like big wind turbines in their previously agrarian environment (Clean Energy Ideas).
Geothermal: the advantages are obvious with this power source: when located away from neighborhoods, geothermal provides consistent and clean energy. But geothermal generating stations entail complicated design issues that are costly, and the area that is actually needed for the piping and other technologies is "quite large" and not...

urban area of Tampa, Florida, and serves as an instrumental case study of how an urban locale can address problems of environmental health and safety. Specifically, this study assesses the failures and successes of Tampa to regulate and reduce water, air and waste pollution through various programs. Through quantitative analysis of city managers' statistics and survey of the population (random sampling), findings indicate that positive steps have been taken
Nuclear Power as a Promising Alternative Fuel for the Future The Nuclear Dilemma (World Nuclear Association) There are a plethora of reasons in which alternative fuels are becoming increasingly desirable as potential power source for everyday consumption in the future. One such reason is that fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that will eventually be exhausted in regards to the feasibility of extracting these resources. It is not necessarily that non-renewable resources will
" The wildlife result of raising the usual row crops such as corn is well-known. The greatest impact of enhanced corn ethanol would be that much more land would be converted to agricultural use as well as the additional erosion and fertilizer application that goes hand-in-hand with agricultural production. Increasing ethanol production through the use of corn may lead to negative effects on wildlife, the degree of which this occurs
