solar, easy to come by, plentiful.
hydro, easy to set up, used for years, some areas dont have it
wind, easy to come by, used for years, some areas dont have it
geothermal, some areas dont have it
wait..am i doing your homework here?
i live near the water, so wind solar and hydro seem the best, then comes geothermal.
with nuclear you have to find a place for the waste.
wave, idk what that is
same with biomass
hydro and solar just need a lubricant
and solar is expensive
Nuclear anywhere
Wind rural
Solar desert or equator regions
Hydro near a big fast flowing river or dam
Wave on submarines or boats
Geothermal
The centre of the Earth is around 6000 degrees Celsius – easily hot enough to melt rock. Even a few kilometres down, the temperature can be over 250 degrees Celsius if the Earth’s crust is thin. In general, the temperature rises one degree Celsius for every 30 – 50 metres you go down, but this does vary depending on location
In volcanic areas, molten rock can be very close to the surface. Sometimes we can use that heat.
Geothermal energy has been used for thousands of years in some countries for cooking and heating.
The name "geothermal" comes from two Greek words: "geo" means "Earth" and "thermal" means "heat".
Biomass is biological material derived from living. Bio massed fuelled power stations have been proposed.
