Which energy is more exhaustive?(Solar, Tidal, Geothermal, Wind)?
Question:
Answer:
the most INexhaustive? .
Well, solar depends on a cloudless day for the best output and can only operate during the daylight hours.
Tidal is pretty reliable but tides are not the same size every day and you always get a small tide and a large tide. As well, when you have a slack tide, most tidal stations aren't making any power, and ones that employ tanks have to be recharged by the rising sea. As well, there's only so much coastline with decent tides--you can't build a tidal station in the middle of the ocean.
Wind is the least reliable--it can be great one day and totally suck the next 3 in a row. It is also a resource with a relatively small patchy areas of usefulness.
Geothermal is the ultimate. You can use it on the sea floor or on land, it is abundant, extremely cheap to build compared to the alternatives, and there's never any "down time". Its always on.
I don't think exhaustive is what you meant.
Please re-phrase using another word.
Definitions of exhaustive on the Web:
very thorough; exhaustively complete; "an exhaustive study"; "made a thorough search"; "thoroughgoing research"

Could you use another adjective? Your question is not clear
By exhaustive, I assume you mean it can be exhausted.
Solar is dependent on the Sun...millions of years left yet, but it exhausts itself about 8-15 hours each day.
Tidal is dependent on the moon orbit, theoretically more stable than the sun, but is mimimally exhausted at peak and ebb tide.
Geothermal is dependent on the earth heating, simillar life as the sun I suppose...This should be least exhaustive and perpetual
Wind is inconsistent and may be exhausted locally by climate changes
I would say geothermal
