The Earth Is Getting HOTTER!🔥

Climate change is one of the most prevalent issues humans face today. Threats include natural disasters, which cause poverty, world hunger, and lack of drinkable water, as well as leading to a possible sixth mass extinction! One of the largest contributors to climate change is the burning of fossil fuels. 81% of the global energy is generated by these fossil fuels, which This can be mitigated, however, and this website is designed to inform you on how to do so, and save the planet.

Solar Energy☀️

Solar energy is energy derived from the sun, and solar rays. This generates energy by the use of various technologies that convert the light and heat of the sun rays to usable energy

Pros:

Abundant (the amount of solar energy that reaches the earth's surface in a day can power the planet for an entire year)

renewable

Cons:

Relies on the sun

varies depending on time and season

Wind Energy💨

Wind energy is energy that is genreated by using wind turbines. This is done as the winds gyrate the turbines, which is converted to usable energy by a generator

Pros:

lots of energy can be generated by a strong, continuous breeze

renewable

Cons:

Depends on location and season, as there is no energy without winds

can be a threat to wildlife (i.e. a bird attempting fly through a wind turbine)

Hydroelectric energy💧

Hydroelectric energy utilizes running water from dams to generate usable power. This allows the motion of the water convert into energy.

Pros:

Brings enormous amounts of energy

Cheap

Cons:

entirely dependent on water

not always safe

can cause droughts

Tidal Energy🌊

Tidal energy is energy created by the rise and fall of currents and tides. This is done with the use of turbines and paddles to convert into electric energy.

Pros:

highly predictable

gives lots of energy

renewable

Cons:

inconsistant

entirely dependent on water

Geothermal Energy🌋

Geothermal energy is energy that is derived from the earth's crust.

Pros:

Uses natural heat from the earth

renewable

Cons:

Depends on the country

produces negligible energy amounts

Biomass Energy🌽

Biomass energy is energy that comes from the burning of organic materials. These materials can be used as fuel directly.

Pros:

Very low economic and environmental costs

Only requires some organic materials to generate energy

Cons:

Requires the organic materials to be burned, (bad for the environment)

requires a lot of space

Nuclear Energy☢️

Nuclear energy is energy that is derived from different nuclear reactions. The most common form of this is nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium, which thus generates nuclear waste.

Pros:

High energy output

Carbon-free energy

Cons:

nuclear waste

very expensive

All of these energies have different pros and cons. Some are cost-efficient, and others can generate energy right at your home. Consider all of these options before converting your energy to one. All of these energies are different, but they are all better than fossil fuels, and switching to any of them is one step closer to eliminating climate change.
