Is hydroelectric power conventional or nonconventional?
yes
What are the pros and cons of nonconventional vs conventional sources of energy?
nonconventional: water, sun, wind They're expensive They can be recycled (not sun) and don't pollute. good long term effects conventional: oil, coal, electricity Global warming good short term effects non-renewable

Why non conventional energy sources are better than conventional sources of energy?
Conventional energy sources involve burning a fuel to produce heat which will drive a piston like in a car engine or make steam for a turbine like in a power plant. In this way we are converting the chemical energy into kinetic energy. This way they are more popular than non-conventional power sources. Non conventional energy sources usually do not involve burning. Solar energy, wind, water energy, geothermal and nuclear fusion are examples of non conventional energy sources. Some of these sources produce pollution and most of them will run out for as long as humans are around.
