1. The main methods of energy production include: wind power generation, hydroelectric power generation, nuclear power generation, thermal power generation.
2. Advantages of wind power generation: renewable energy and environmental protection. Disadvantages: Limited by region and climate.
Advantages of nuclear power generation:
1. Nuclear power generation does not cause air pollution or produce carbon dioxide that worsens the global greenhouse effect.
2. The uranium fuel used in nuclear power production has no other purpose than the production of electricity.
3. Nuclear fuel has high energy density, small fuel volume, and is easy to transport and store.
Disadvantages:
1. Nuclear power plants produce high and low level radioactive waste.
2. Nuclear power plants have low thermal efficiency and serious thermal pollution.
3. Nuclear power plants are less suited to on-peak and off-peak operation with load.
Advantages of thermal power generation: low cost, mature technology Disadvantages: environmental pollution, primary energy consumption
Advantages of hydroelectric power generation: green and environmentally friendly, primary energy saving Disadvantages: water source cannot be guaranteed, cost is higher than thermal power High
