Your town has decided to build a new power plant to replace the old coal burning plant. Suggest a renewable resource that they could use to generate power. Describe two advantages and two disadvantages of the resource you have recommended.

Hmm ...

dam power plant (not sure if this is considered renewable) : benefits: as it creates a tourist spot bringing more money and provides electricity.

disadvantages: restricts flow of water to farms, costs millions to build.

solar power plant: benefits: sunlight just keeps coming, produces a lot of electricity for maybe half the cost.

disadvantages: takes a large crew to maintain, mostly needs to be in an open area.

Wind farm: benefits: wind we don't have to worry about much, just blows through and turns the turbines, and can produce electricity almost 24/7.

disadvantages: unsightly, needs open space and costs a lot to build

Take your pick!
