Energy Production
  1. Renewable Energy
    1. Examples
      1. Hydropower
        1. Wind Power
        2. Definition
          1. A renewable resource is a natural resource that is unlimited or that is naturally replenished rather quickly, such as sunlight or water.
          2. FOR
            1. Generally have a smaller environmental impact - once they have been set up, they provide clean energy
            2. AGAINST
              1. Initial set up costs are often quite high. They also generally don't produce as much energy as finite sources, so the time it takes to pay back the initial expense is quite long.
                1. Some types rely on external factors like the sun and wind, so they're less reliable.
              2. Non-Renewable
                1. Definition
                  1. A non-renewable energy resource is one that has a finite (limited) supply that will eventually run out. They are used faster than they can be replaced.
