Alternative Energy Solutions For Renewable Energy

During the past couple of centuries, humans were able to accomplish more things than the entirety of human existence. Mankind was able to prolong life, cure deadly diseases, and more. One of the greatest achievements was converting fossil fuels into energy. People are able to take the fossilized remains and turn them into the everyday fuel everyone in the world uses. However, the energy humans have been using is not clean. The more people use fossil fuels, the more the planet dies. Fortunately, scientists and engineers were able to come up with ways to renew energy. They created new technologies that are capable of harvesting the sun’s rays, water currents, and wind power. Even though renewable energy sources like this have been discovered, people still neglect to convert to them and continue to use fossil fuels.

These sources of energy have a great upside, but right now are incredibly inefficient compared with fossil fuels because of the lack of funding and worldly push (2009). If there isn’t a bigger investment in these alternative energies, fossil fuels are going to maintain their stranglehold on all the economies of the world (Lomborg, 2009).

These programs have been effective, but a stronger push to use renewables is still needed. The costs of

Today, humans rely on variety of energy resources to heat homes, propel transportation vehicles, and produce goods for shelter, food health care, and entertainment. Some of those sources are renewable like biomass and solar energy, and others are non-renewable like fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). as we know most of our electricity comes from fossil fuels which are non-renewable however, burning fossil fuels produce

Currently in the U.S. we rely on non-renewable sources to produce our energy such as oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear energy. Although these methods do well producing energy, they also have large down falls environmental, economically, and in other ways that fail to show a promising future. This makes it necessary that we adapt alternative renewable energy methods that do not have these effects, and can insure a promising future.

In the United States today we face growing costs in providing homes and businesses with electricity with the current costs and demands of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are becoming less common and more expensive with each passing day. An alternate source of energy must be found to combat this growing dilemma, a source that is already providing 13% of our countries energy. Hydro, Solar and Wind energy all three of these being able to provide a potentially infinite amount of energy, so why have we not committed to taking advantage of these sources of energy? Alternate fuel sources for electricity such as Solar energy, Hydro energy and Wind Turbine should be more commonly used for each area in the United States to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.

Although there has been a hiatus of the trend of rising temperature in recent years, there will be a rapid increase of temperature if we keep emitting greenhouses gases (Slezak, 2014). As the consequence of global warming is serious, for instance, extinction of endangered species and the rise in sea level. Governments all over the world are trying to alleviate global warming and the use of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels is one of the solutions. Regarding to the energy crisis, the exhaustion of fossil fuels will be a challenge to the world in the future (Hook & Tang, 2013). In order to prevent this foreseeable situation, governments will put more effort into supporting the development of renewable energy. As a result, both global warming and energy crisis are the momentum to make the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy

Everyday in U.S., immense amount of fossil fuel is burned. Fossil fuels are fuel formed by natural processes, such as decomposition of buried dead organisms. Fossil fuel release carbon dioxide when they are burned which adds to the greenhouse effect and increases global warming. The way we can help the environment and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide is by replaying fossil fuels with solar and wind sources for electric power generations in the U.S.

In this day and age, we have new energy sources that could be used to power our homes and transportation. Wind and solar power are used all over the world, but are still used far less than fossil fuels. Most would say it’s not reliable or it doesn’t make any profit. While both statements are true, it doesn’t mean we can’t make a better future using renewable energy. In fact, the only reason we don’t use renewables for everything is that we don’t want to change. The hard truth is we need to change. Fossil fuels are great right now, but if we run out, humanity must have another source of energy.

In the United States, major fossil-fuel-burning energy-producing industries dominate: they are more widely used, they produce more energy, and they severely harm the environment. I believe that the United States should move towards alternative energies that don’t burn fossil fuels to produce energy, such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydroelectric power, because they, despite their currently high price point, provide large amounts of pollution free-energy, which will increase energy independence due to their ability to easily produce electricity within the nation and create amounts of electricity competitive to those of conventional energies.

Renewable Energy is defined as: a renewable natural resource or source of energy, such as water, wind, or solar power (Oxford English Dictionary). There are those that believe that our nation should abandon the use of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal, and switch to renewable energy sources. Although the change could yield many benefits, I believe that renewable energy is a not viable alternative for our nation’s energy future because it would create an unfavorable environmental impact, it is not as reliable, and it would be too costly.

Over the past several years, scientists have researched the impact fossil fuels currently have on our world today. These sources of energy have an irreversible and devastating consequence on our environment. Fossil fuels are disliked due to being non-renewable and unsustainable. As more technological advancements have occurred, more efforts have arisen related to replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources of energy. Due to the integration of existing technology the public has become reluctant to adopt new energy technologies. Renewable energy brings many desirable health, environmental, and economic benefits. These renewable methods may ultimately provide a brighter future for generations to come.

The world after running out of fossil fuels would be a horrible place for living. life would be hard and harsh. This is the case for us if we couldn’t find new energy resources. Nowadays, many countries are reliant on energy from conventional sources like crude oil, natural gas, and coal. These sources are limited and they eventually will run out at some point in the future. Considering this fact and increasing demands for energy, the search for new energy resources is reasonable and it should be taken seriously. In recent years, renewable energy resources have proven as an interesting alternative to conventional energy resources. Renewable energy resources like wind energy, solar energy, and hydropower result from the natural process and

In 2015, the world will face a vast amount of dilemmas; these dilemmas range from how someone is going to get their food to how they are going to cook. But the biggest dilemma of them all, is how they are going to continue to get energy to do everyday tasks. The most efficient resources are those of the nonrenewable variety. These nonrenewable resources include fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum. Someday these resources will run out and will not be replenished for thousands of years. As of now, an overwhelming majority of the energy used in the world today is non-renewable. We, as civilized people, are so dependent on fossil fuels that we go through extraneous efforts to retrieve these properties. The world needs energy

For years man has relied on energy in order to be successful in life. The industrial revolution relied on coal for the new inventions brought into the world. Life as has never been the same since then. However since that time, there has been little done to improve on energy efficiency and humans still primarily rely on fossil fuels for energy. For over a hundred years the Earth has become more polluted and dirtier than ever before. Now, with new, innovative technology there is an opportunity to change that and to rely on renewable, cleaner sources of energy. The main source of energy for the world should be alternative energy instead of energy from fossil fuels.
