At this time, alternative energy sources are more expensive than traditional sources.
People who live in windy or sunny places can take more advantage of wind and solar energy. Hydroelectric power is efficient for people who can use fast moving waters.
What form of pollution, if any, does each energy source cause?
How does the economy influence energy source choices?
How does location influence energy source choices?

This question would take all night to answer. I will just make a suggestion or two.
Just think about sources. Obviously burning carbon causes CO2 no matter what form the carbon takes (coal, diesel, gasoline, methane ..... ) Some create more problems than others, coal for example often makes a mess at the mine and natural gas may be extracted by fracking which can pollute water supplies.
If your economy is weak, you use the cheapest energy source, even if it pollutes
location is major. Wind needs a windy spot. Coal is cheapest near the source as is water power and certainly wave power.

What form of pollution, if any, does each energy source cause?
- Coal is a major part of pollution.
How does the economy influence energy source choices?
- It depends on how the economy is doing. If the economy is doing good then they buy better products. If the economy isn't doing o good then they buy cheap products. As a result, coal is the cheapest energy source. So, if more people buy coal then it creates more pollution.
How do location influence energy source choices?
- This is very relatable to answer 2. It just depends on how the economy is doing in different areas.
