We Answered:

Advantages:
- Works the same in all climates.
- More environmentally friendly.
- Produces helium.
- The technology could have other useful applications.

Disadvantages:
- There are some engineering details that haven't been fully worked out yet.
- More expensive, at least with foreseeable technology.
- Uses a more limited energy source.

Lester Said:

what are the advantages and possible disadvantages of using solar energy?

We Answered:

Great way to save power and preserve reasources. But it may be a bit unsitely and it may not be the most efficent use of your money (I would assume solar producing sources would be hard to come by money wise because they are not mass produced as frequently, and most poeple just assume not using them will work). If your going to go for all solar power, then get power saving appliances, that way you help the solar panels that help you.

Nancy Said:

2. Describe advantages and disadvantages of solar, wind, geothermal, ocean energy sources, biofuels.?

We Answered:

They are all very expensive and in reality could not power the world's energy needs.

They produce less polution and gets us less reliant on the Mid East, which is a good thing. Used in combination with oil, nuclear is the only way it would work.
