While fossil fuels may essentially do more harm, renewable energy sources can also pose a threat to the environment. Allowing for the various renewable energy sources: solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal, \u003cstrong\u003eEnvironmental Impacts of Renewable Energy\u003c\/strong\u003e examines the environmental effects of all available renewable or alternative sources, as they increasingly play a large part in our energy supply, and provides a counterargument about the benefits of renewable energy. This book discusses both the merits and the physical, mechanical, electrical, and environmental limitations of renewable sources of energy. It discusses the pros and cons of renewable energy, addresses environmental issues and concerns, and determines ways to avoid or minimize these impacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text contains nine chapters reviewing in depth: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eRenewable energy impact on the environment\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMajor renewable energy types\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnvironmental health, safety, and ecological impacts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImpact on tribal sacrosanct areas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnvironmental Impacts of Renewable Energy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the adverse effects of major renewable energy sources.
