there is not so much 24 hours in a day
this<00:00:20.460> means<00:00:20.699> that<00:00:20.910> you<00:00:21.030> will<00:00:21.120> need<00:00:21.270> a<00:00:21.300> lot<00:00:21.510> of

this means that you will need a lot of

some of the advantages and disadvantages
 

00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:47.000 align:start position:0%
some of the advantages and disadvantages
of<00:00:43.500> using<00:00:44.660> when<00:00:45.660> the<00:00:45.840> energy<00:00:46.350> is<00:00:46.500> important

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:47.010 align:start position:0%
of using when the energy is important
 

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:49.040 align:start position:0%
of using when the energy is important
because<00:00:47.190> it<00:00:47.489> is<00:00:47.579> a<00:00:47.640> renewable<00:00:48.210> energy<00:00:48.480> source

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:49.050 align:start position:0%
because it is a renewable energy source
 

00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:50.810 align:start position:0%
because it is a renewable energy source
that<00:00:49.710> does<00:00:49.890> not<00:00:50.040> pollute<00:00:50.340> the<00:00:50.670> environment
