Unit 1 Ps Advantages and Disadvantages - 1

The document compares various power generation methods, including nuclear, gas, hydro, and thermal power plants, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Nuclear power plants have high initial costs but low carbon emissions and reliability, while gas plants are efficient but can be noisy and environmentally impactful. Hydropower is renewable and clean, but can disrupt natural water patterns, and thermal power is reliable but non-renewable with significant environmental concerns.
