of these choices has its pros and cons. Hydroelectric power tends to upset the
ecosystems in rivers and lakes. It affects the fish and wild life population.
Nuclear energy is a very controversial subject. Although it produces high
quantities of power with relative efficiency, it is very hard to dispose of the
waste. While wind and solar power have no waste products, they require enormous
amounts of land to produce any large amounts of energy. I believe that
geothermal energy may be an alternative source of energy in the future. There
