Differences between fossil fuel and renewable energy
One of the great issues facing world in the 21st century is how best to obtain the energy for supporting operations: heat and light, transportation, production and delivery of goods and services. Fossil fuel supplies nearly 90 percent of the energy, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. In contrast, only %5 is provided by renewable energy.
There are several differences between fossil fuel and renewable energy. Fossil fuel are including: oil, coal, natural gas and their derivative versus renewable energy types, such as solar, wind and geothermal, are naturally replenished in nature, so they can continue indecently. One of the clear differences between fossil fuel and renewable energy is about their cost. First of all, fossil fuel differ from renewable energy in their prices. The world’s population is increasing and demanding more energy on per-capita. Therefore, the limited supply of fossil fuel have made them rather precious. On the other hand renewable energy is mainly sourced from free fuels such as wind, sunshine, waterways, and geothermal sources. Secondly, the maintenance costs of fossil fuel vary from renewable one. For example the fossil fuel industries are well established, whereas the renewable industries are still small in comparison. This makes energy from renewables harder to get and, in some cases, more expensive.
Another obvious difference between fossil fuel and renewable energy is about pollution.
Whereas fossil fuel causes some pollution of the environment, the renewable energies are clean and safe. For instance, fossils fuel results air pollution and weather pollution.
As well as global climate change, a lot of carbon dioxide cause the greenhouse effect, acid rain emissions of harmful gases cause serious pollution to the atmosphere. In contrast, the renewable energies don’t have a lot of pollution.
