  1. RENEWABLE POWER RESOURCES

  2. HEP • Location: • mountainous & wet areas • Advantages: • low running cost • cheap electricity • limited pollution

  3. HEP • Disadvantages: • high construction cost • disturbs ecosystems & destroys farmland • unreliable electricity supply

  4. WIND • Location: • windy areas • Advantages: • pollution-free • low running cost • Disadvantages: • high construction cost • spoils natural beauty • cannot be built in densely populated areas • restricted to windy areas

  5. SOLAR ENERGY • Location: • areas with much sunshine • Advantages: • solar panels are cheap • low running cost • Disadvantages: • high construction cost • restricted to sunny areas

  6. SOLAR ENERGY

  7. TIDAL • Location: • coastal areas • large tidal range • Advantages: • abundant in coastal areas • Disadvantages: • affects water transport • restricted to coastal areas

  8. GEOTHERMAL • Location: • volcanic regions • Advantages: • low running cost • Disadvantages: • restricted to volcanic areas

  9. THINKS ABOUT: Do we have a free choice in selecting different power resources? What should be considered in making the decision?

  10. THINKS ABOUT: • What is this? methane hydrates 可燃冰(甲烷水合物)
