three major forms of renewable energy are solar energy‚ wind energy and biomass energy (Bio Fuels). Each type of renewable energy has advantages and disadvantages which are specific to that type of alternative energy. For example Solar and Wind are intermittent in nature while Geothermal Energy has no such problems however Geothermal Energy suffers from a lack of good sites and takes a long time to become installed. Plus cost too is a major factor. Solar Power has been the fastest rising energy
