introduction

It is obtained from the light and heat of the sun by means of panels and provides heat.

SOLAR POWER

It has irregular daily and yearly problems and storage problems.

The main producing countries are the USA, Canada and Australia.

biomasspower

The principal problem is the emission of CO2 during the combustion.

Consists of the combustion of agricultural, livestock and forestry residues, it produce heat or electricity.

The main producers of biomass power are France and Sweden in Europe

It comes from the wind that moves the wind turbines and provides electricity.

WIND POWER

It has irregular wind problems and produces acoustic and visual problems.

The first producing countries are Germany, Spain and the USA.

The most important problems are the high price of production, the variability of the waves and the visual impact.

WAVES POWER

It comes from the force of the tides of the sea and it’s used to produce electricity.

The most important problems are the high price of production, the variability of the waves and the visual impact.

The main producers of waves power are Canada, Argentina and France

geothermalpower

It is obtained from the internal heat of the earth and heat and electricity are obtained from it

The main producing countries are the USA, the Philippines and Mexico.

NUCLEAR ENERGY

Nuclear energy is the energy that comes from the fusion of deuterium and tritium atoms that release a large amount of energy, this source is the lest used.

The problems it causes such as high temperatures and the control of the nuclear reaction are unresolved.

The first producing countries are United States and France

Conclusion

In our opinion we don't know which energy source we will choose because everything depends on the territory in which it is located and the climate of the area.
