Nowadays, There are many alternative sources of energy for
people to use. In the past people make fire by cracking two pieces of
flint causing sparks against dry tinder or fleece. But now people use
technology for their needed. People have used more than 90% of
fuels, such as oil, coal and natural gas to produce electricity. These
things are non-renewable. The more we use these fuel it will
decreases everyday. So we have to find another way to save it by
using renewable energy, which is a new way to produce electricity
and also reducing global warming. So this essay will focus on how to
harness its sources effectively and the advantages and disadvantages
of its. “Alternative energy is any form of energy that does not come from fossil fuels. They are considered alternatives because they can be future replacements for the fossil fuels that now meet a considerable portion of our energy needs. Here are some characteristics of alternative energy sources.”(@universetoday) Advantages of renewable is the fact that they are renewable. We will never run out of sources of renewable energy. the sun will always be there, the wind will always exist. On the other hand, non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels are finite - our resources of them will run out eventually. Disadvantages of renewable energy is energy derived from sources that will not run out. Renewable energy often relies on the weather for its source of power. Hydro generators need rain to fill dams to supply flowing water. Wind turbines need wind to turn the blades, and solar collectors need clear skies and sunshine to collect heat and make electricity.
Renewable energy and Non-renewable energy are the part of
alternative energy. Currently people used lots of non-renewable. Even
the rest of other people have a campaign for
