Question 8

Study Figure 4, which shows four different methods of renewable energy generation.

Figure 4: Four methods of renewable energy generation. Panel A: A tidal barrage built across a wide river estuary. Panel B: A biomass power station processing agricultural waste. Panel C: Wave energy ocean buoys floating off a rugged coastline. Panel D: Solar photovoltaic panels installed on the roofs of suburban residential homes.

Choose one of the energy generation methods shown in Figure 4 (Panel A, B, C, or D).

Suggest why your chosen method cannot be used to generate electricity in all geographical locations.
