    It's pretty easy to distinguish the advantage of renewable energy sources. The main advantage is, well, they're RENEWABLE. As long as there are water supplies, there'll be hydropower.

    As for the disadvantages, they can be expensive to build. Also, you become too reliant on mother nature for your power needs. This article goes deeper into the disadvantages:

    The internet is a great source of information about the advantages and disadvantages of alternative fuels. Just be careful because there are shysters who pollutes good information with crap such as Franz Boncodin's engineless cars, etc. Of course, his is just a ruse to have something to show potential investors. But it can make your research difficult. Just use caution and good judgment in sorting out the real from fantasy.
