Renewable energy creates three times more jobs then fossil fuels. Renewable energy is being used more in the world. People are realizing that fossil fuels are going to run out soon and that it is destroying the environment. And burning these things releases greenhouse gasses that is causing climate change. Alternate energy should be used more because burning fossil fuels is causing climate change, drilling oil is dangerous, and alternate energy is clean and renewable.
Alternate energy is renewable and environmental friendly. It is clean and emits little to no greenhouse gas compared to natural resources (www.doe.gov). People do not understand the …show more content…
limitations of fossil fuels. Someday they will run out but wind, water current, and the sun will not run out before fossil fuels do. There are many renewable resources available so not only one source will be over used. Burning fossil fuels is causing climate change. Climate change is increasing heat and glaciers are starting to melt. When glaciers melt sea levels increase and in the past century they have increased by 17 centimeters (climate.nasa.gov). That shows that climate change is actually happening. Also the thickness of artic ice has declined rapidly over the last decade (climate.nasa.gov).
There is one resource that is dangerous to collect and has caused many Animal and human deaths is Oil. Like the oil spill in The Gulf of Mexico which caused an estimate of eleven worker deaths and many more animal deaths (Collins). This caused mass destruction of habitat and long term affects for any animal in the area (Collins). This includes increased deaths of wildlife like dolphins. Dolphin deaths increased from sixty-three deaths a year in 2002 to 2009 to 335 deaths a year in 2011.
Some may say that renewable energy collecting costs way too much and they are right however it is only a one time payment. It also employs many workers for building, managing, and maintaining the structure so it makes
