Impacts of renewable energy sources
Renewable energy is a form of usable energy generated by non-conventional energy sources. Non-conventional energy refers to geothermal heat, biomass, wind and solar. They are constantly replenished and will never run out. These renewable sources are not causing environmental pollution and produce less or zero carbon emissions. Relying on renewable energy sources will help reduce the contribution of carbon dioxide caused by human activities that impact the environment. The use of fossil fuels to satisfy human energy needs is one of the major contributors to greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere (Inslee, 2007) Climate change and greenhouse gasses are reaching to a critical level and the most possible way to change it is by using renewable energy sources so we would not need to worry about running out of energy sources. Countries such as United States, Germany, Spain, China and Brazil are top five in developing renewable energy technologies. (eSchoolToday, 2010), (Care2, 2012)
Using renewable energy is necessary to reduce global warming. Global warming is caused by natural and human factors, such as explosion on the sun that generate excessive heat and combustion of fossil fuels in vehicles, factories or electricity production. The combustion of fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide, which is harmful when it is released to the atmosphere and comes back to the surface as acid rain causing skin diseases to humans. To reduce the increasing rate of global warming, renewable energy plays an important part by replacing pollutant energy source. It requires less maintenance than traditional generators.
