5. Importance and growth of renewable energies

6. Solar energy has the greatest advantages Advantages Dis- advantages Constantly available (irrespective of sun and wind) Little change in landscape Low space requirement Cannot be used everywhere Great cost Risk of earthquakes through drilling (Basel) Only works with wind Noise emission High investment Large installations (change in nature) High investment costs Submersion of biotopes and useful space Disruption of biological equilibrium In poor countries: displacement of resource production of local life (biomass production) Increased output of nitrous oxide (fertilisation and combustion of biomass) In some cases, still low efficiency Low operating & maintenance costs No follow-on costs Simple technology High efficiency Constantly available Recycling No pollutant emissions Surplus electricity can be stored Low maintenance & operating costs Integrates into environment Long life of systems Geothermal energy WindWaterBiomassSolar
