YES, a lot.
Electricity is commonly produced by coal. This leads to the release of:
- CO2 (a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming)
- SOx (leading to acid rains)
- NOx (acid rains and morbidity o living beings)
- ozone (morbidity)
- mercury (poisoning of living organism, especially dangerous for pregnant bodies)
- radioactive heavy metals
- dust
Nuclear power also has its large environmental problems, especially with nuclear wastes and heavily polluted sites around uranium mines.
Hydro power can be very disruptive for specific species in rivers which too often can´t migrate anymore
So far, the best is the combined generation through wind power and natural gas as a back-up (for when no wind power is generated)
The cooling of power plans commonly increases the temperature of the water in rivers. This leads to the development of parasites and an increase mortality of the aquatic fauna and flora.
