While alternative energy is slowly emerging, its problems and limitations are also revealed. It used to be that the alternative energy badge outweighed the disadvantages, as going green was more important than the efficiency of “dirty” energy.
Experts are starting to compare all the characteristics of both forms of energy, the ones derived from fossil fuels and the alternative ones, especially wind energy, photovoltaics, and hydropower plants.
One of the critical problems of these three forms is dependence on nature. Windmills can work well only with the right amount of wind, which often occurs in the form of gusts. Many times, however, it is insufficient for efficient operation.Photovoltaics is highly dependent on the number of sunshine hours. Hydroelectric power plants depend entirely on river water levels, which must be neither too low nor too high.
In addition to the dubious latest hit, nuclear energy, there is another solution: generating electricity from waste wood biomass.
