Advantages:
1. Because there are large coal reserves on earth, the price of coal is cheaper
2. The cost of building a thermal power plant is. higher than that of hydraulic energy of the same power. The cost of power plants is lower
3. Thermal power generation is not affected by climate and region, while hydropower generation is affected by climate and region
Disadvantages:
1. Non-renewable coal,
2. The energy utilization rate is very low, less than a third of the energy is used, and two. -thirds of the energy becomes waste heat,
3. The heat and exhaust gases produced have an impact on the environment.
