Research Paper Why renewable power sources are better than nuclear power? Nuclear power is the most productive power source. However‚ there are several ongoing debates around the efficiency and the usage of nuclear power. Several factors such as the catastrophes in Chernobyl and Fukushima and the depleting of coal and gas reserves have led to the idea behind the renewable power sources. The renewable power sources are the future of the energy production in the world. Renewable energy is the

Renewable Energy Sources are defined renewable non-fossil energy sources including wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ wave‚ tidal‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ landfill gas‚ sewage treatment plant gas and biogases. In Hong Kong‚ the energy consumption is highly relied on non-renewable resources such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil etc. However‚ if we only depend on those resources continuously‚ it may have a high risk of deficiency. Because of the limitation of the Non-Renewable Resources‚ Renewable Energy Sources have
