Renewable Energy : An Source Of Stable And Resilient Energy Provider

The United States is the world’s largest energy consumer with about five percent of the world’s population using eighteen percent of the energy, a staggering statistic from the U.S Energy Information Administration, which causes a search for a long-term solution that is both efficient and environmentally conscience (Energy Information Administration).Fossil fuels, which the world depends on for much of its energy production, will not last forever and a renewable source of energy is needed. Thankfully, a solution, wind energy is in sight with the modernization of an old technology that goes back hundreds of years. Wind energy is a form of solar energy; as sure as the sun will shine, the wind will blow and this energy can be harnessed. Opposition to wind energy claim that there are many risks and problems with the system, and would not be feasible on a large scale and which is why the technology was abandoned for fossil fuels. New wind energy technology, however, will replace non-renewable energy sources as an environmentally friendly, sustainable and economic energy source.

With the rise of nonrenewable fuels prices and the estimated decline of availability in the not so distant future it is very clear that the only answer to this problem is to implement the use of renewable resources. Renewable resources are very versatile and can reduce pollution of the environment and can in the long

Renewable energy is considered an environmental friendly way of producing energy; according to http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/index/tech.html, “in contrast, the many types of renewable energy resources-such as wind and solar energy-are constantly replenished and will never

Renewable energy is sourced from natural resources that replenish faster than they can be used. However, these organic resources are of low calorific value (energy/quantity of heat when combusted); consequently, scientists are constantly developing new ways to extract more power from these energy sources. Iceland today generates 100% of its electricity with renewable energy: 75% of that from hydropower, and 25% from geothermal

Renewable energy may seem like a daunting task, but the benefits to humanity could be incredible. Public uses of renewable energy range from transportation all the way to heating and cooling. Everything we use could become less explosive and less expensive. Cities with a high concentration of people could become safer and healthier places to live. Transportation could be converted to electricity dramatically, improving smog conditions. Global warming may or may not

Renewable energies have satisfactory EROEIs and they aren’t subject to depletion unlike non-renewable and nuclear energy sources. However renewable energy sources are far from producing enough energy to fulfil the world’s needs.

Staring with a good effect of renewable energy that is protect environment. Renewable energy can protect environment in terms of non-renewable energy. For example, people fell trees for making fire, it is give a huge damage for environment because trees can absorb carbon dioxide and protect soil. If people over-logging, that world lead to soil erosion. Then, there is easier to happen natural disaster, such as waterflood. Alternatively, renewable energy is better than non-renewable energy in environment. Take wind energy for example, wind energy is in

Targets 7.1 and 7.2 can be measured by observing, whether developing countries have access to affordable, reliable and modern energy services and/or renewable energy, rather than depending on inefficient sources, such as biomass, for energy.

Renewable energy is defined as using resources that are easily replenished such as water, the sun, or wind, as forms of energy. So why should citizens of the Earth use renewable energy? Many people use renewable energy because of the environmental benefits and the economic benefits or in order to preserve the nonrenewable resources. Using renewable energy sources provides many different benefits for society and for the environment but they also have drawbacks that makes the use of renewable energy a controversial topic.

As the global population grows, the energy supply needs to meet the demand. Ever since Industrial Revolution (the 1800s), we have been using coal and oil to produce energy for our day to day needs. However, this revolution created a severe way to pollute our ecology through the release of greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions - causing global warming and climate change effects which have been experienced all around the world. As the technology grew with our knowledge regarding energy consumption and production we have developed a new, green and safe way to produce energy. Since fossil fuels is a fatal and finite resource which will run out inevitably, we need to turn our attention towards the renewable energy initiative. Renewable energy is a sustainable source of energy which uses modern technology to obtain clean energy from natural resources, from such as the wind, sunlight, waterfall and etc (I shall explain each in details furthermore). Therefore, I shall be discussing how a sustainable energy system is possible if we

The world's energy production from coal is causing greenhouse gas emissions, which is causing global warming. Renewable energy sources reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, slowing the effects of global

The consumption of fossil fuels has grown to an alarming rate over the years. Due to this, our atmosphere is being weighed down with excessive carbon-dioxide and other harmful gases. When gases are released, they trap heat and produce a network of powerful and harmful impacts, ranging from sea level rise, drought, and incessant storms. The global dependence on non-renewable energy is not only harmful to the environment and economy, but will ultimately get exhausted due to excessive consumption. Therefore, there is a greater need to shift focus to renewable energy and explore the many positive impacts it brings to the environment.

We all depend on energy to provide us with electricity for our daily activities. The energy that comes from coal, oil, and natural gas are called fossil fuel and these are nonrenewable energy sources. All electronics used electricity in order to be useful, and they all come from nonrenewable energy sources that cannot be replaced when is being used up or get flatted in our lifetime. Due to the fact that the nonrenewable energy sources cannot be replenished when is used, it would be very much important to shift to other energy sources like renewable energy sources. These are energy resources that can be replaced at any time. It is much more nature-friendly than non renewable resource. Renewable energy resource can be grouped into five major categories namely hydropower, solar, biomass, geothermal and lastly wind energy. Renewable energy resources could, if developed and implemented can provide 90 to 100 percent of the energy demand for the world in the next four decades (Harvey). Now, we get almost ten percent of the energy we use from renewable sources. So, one may ask if it does not harm the environment and will not get finished, in this case, then why should we not used them everywhere and all the time? It is because is expensive to produce, or because of its demerit? This has made people wondering if it will be possible to provide the world with enough energy from this renewable

Alternate energy resources are being developed to compete against the fossil fuel power stations. Fossil fuel such as coal and oil are drilled and shoveled out of the ground and then processed to be turned into electricity. Problems with fossil fuels are that they produce hazardous air emissions and give off by-products that will harm the area. Some well-known alternate renewable energy resources are wind, solar, and hydro power. These are all sources that are in abundance and will be around for billions of years. Hydropower provides substantial amounts of electricity to the world by exploiting water, it totals about one fifth of the electricity worldwide (Renewable). While hydropower has its flaws, some environmentalists disclaim that hydropower is a widespread renewable energy source. However, this is a misconception because water is renewed in the water cycle, dams are environmentally sustainable to the ecosystem, and the only discharge from hydropower is unpolluted water.

Energy that can be re-used or re-grown in a shorter period of time than, for example, a fossil fuel, is the simplest way of defining renewable energy. It is considered very eco-friendly as energy from resources such as oceans, the sun and the wind contribute very little to pollution overall when producing energy. The energy problem which we are faced with today is critical and governments, scientists and environmentalist continue to search for various solutions which will alleviate the issue. In this paper, the causes of the energy problems that exist will be explained. This paper will also include a balanced discussion on the ways in which renewable energy could be the solutions
