Why We Should Switch
Renewable energy is energy that comes from sources other than coal, natural gas, and oil. Fossil fuels are nonrenewable and they are predicted to run out in the next 50-100 years. Renewable energy sources will never run out and they don't harm the environment. A few renewable energy sources are solar, wind, and hydropower. Other sources of energy are biomass and geothermal energy. These two sources of energy do produce greenhouse gases, but very little, and they are great alternatives to fossil fuels. Renewable energy will also improve air quality making the air we breathe much cleaner. These alternative sources of energy can boost our economy, and it will provide many jobs, so fewer people will be unemployed. Renewable energy can provide us with everything we need in a much healthier way, for both the planet and all living creatures.
