Hmm ...

dam power plant (not sure if this is considered renewable) : benefits: as it creates a tourist spot bringing more money and provides electricity.

disadvantages: restricts flow of water to farms, costs millions to build.

solar power plant: benefits: sunlight just keeps coming, produces a lot of electricity for maybe half the cost.

disadvantages: takes a large crew to maintain, mostly needs to be in an open area.

Wind farm: benefits: wind we don't have to worry about much, just blows through and turns the turbines, and can produce electricity almost 24/7.

disadvantages: unsightly, needs open space and costs a lot to build

Take your pick!
