The non-conventional sources of energy are:

1. Wind Energy

advantages- non-polluting; low cost production of electricity once setup; safe and clean

disadvantages- noise pollution; wind mills costly to setup; disturbs radio and T.V. reception; harmful to birds.

2. Solar Energy

advantages- inexhaustible; non-polluting

disadvantages- expensive; diffused source, so gets wasted.

3. Tidal Energy

advantages- non-polluting; inexhaustible

disadvantages- destroys wildlife habitat; difficult to harness

4. Nuclear energy

advantages- Emits large amount of energy

disadvantages- generates radioactive waste; expensive

5. Bio Gas

advantages- low cost; easy to operate; makes use of bio waste

disadvantages- causes green house effect

6. Geothermal Energy

advantages- clean Eco friendly and always available

disadvantages- located far away from cities and so costly to transport the electricity
