Biomass vs Wind

Biomass is a better energy source than wind. Wind costs $0.10 – $0.33 per kw/hr. on the other hand biomass costs $0.12 per kw/hr. Wind turbines can kill birds and/or bats and turbines take a lot of room. Wind energy is a renewable energy source but it needs at least 12 to 14 wind strength. Each turbine must function flawlessly however biomass burns plant matter and animal waste, which is much easier. Wood, crops, garbage, landfill gas, and alcohol fuels are types of biomass instead of one resource to make wind energy. This is why I chose biomass.

Geothermal vs. Solar

Geothermal is better than solar because geothermal is less expensive than solar. For example solar products go up 10 years, solar cost $0.16, geothermal power plants don`t burn fuels to generate electrity. Unlike solar, photovalic are solar systems. Geothermal doesn`t have to use electronics, it’s a renewable energy source. As a result solar energy doesn’t work on a rainy day, for instance geothermal works on a rainy day. Supplement energy may be needed in low sunlight areas.
