__**Spencer :**__ __//**Hydrogen-- It takes additional energy to produce it. Resulting in pollution if generated from fuels.**//__ Hydrogen power is more expensive than other energy sources, extracting hydrogen may need other fossil fuels, then causing pollution from some of the fuels. Hydrogen is also very difficult to store and distribute. Biomass--- Produces carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. It takes more energy to plant and grow the plants than is gained from the process.

//**__Nikole :__**// //**__Coal - Creates harmful pollutants. Pollution from coal contributes to acid rain__**// //Burning coal releases harmful gasses such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphuric acids and more. Coal mining can destroy large areas of land destroying natural habitats and forcing native animals to move and in some areas the burning of coal can cause acid rain. Groundwater contamination, steams buried, flooding increase, and acid mine drainage. Loss of culture heritage, cemeteries, archaeological, and etc.//

Hydroelectricity-Messes with nature. Effects fish migration, natural flow of water, and sediments. Natural-- Gas When burned, releases carbon dioxide into the air. Not renewable and will run out. Oil Generates carbon dioxide and is a nonrenewable energy source. Wave Natural habitats in the ocean are destroyed. Wind-It's not dependable, because it's not windy everyday. Ideal locations for plants are on the coast of the ocean. We live in Missouri. SolarVery expensive, and it's not sunny everyday. TidalCosts a lot, and doesn't generate enough energy for what it's worth. Not very efficient. NuclearIt is very expensive and is killing the environment. Also, exposure to radioactive material can be deadly, or cause cancer. This energy is killing people and our environment. Have a heart.

__**Jake:**__ __**Nuclear-- It is very expensive and is killing the environment. Also, exposure to radioactive material can be deadly, or cause cancer. This energy is killing our environment.**__ the storage and management of dangerous high level radioactive waste; the possibility of proliferation of nuclear materials and potential terrorist applications; the high cost of building nuclear facilities and the small possibility of accidents. The radiation can hurt our people, animals, and plant.

Gas line leaks in commercial and residential settings don't happen too often, but when they do, they pose a significant threat. When a large amount of gas collects in an enclosed area, it may lead to an explosion. Additionally, individuals exposed to the buildup may become ill. Before distributing it to consumers, natural gas suppliers add a scent to the odorless gas. This smell, which the Ohio Public Utilities Commission Website compares to rotten eggs, is meant to alert individuals to any gas leakage. Regular inspections and proper gas line installation help prevent gas leaks from occurring.
