huge debate whether using renewable energy is beneficial to our environment or not. The biggest source of our energy has been sourced by coal‚ oil and natural gasses. Some researchers believe that there are many benefits of using renewable energy and that we should be concerned with seeking environmentally friendly alternatives instead. Not only are these sources harmful‚ they will eventually deplete our natural resources. The goal is to find pollution-free renewable energy that can offer a better future

Through these series of questions‚ I initially assumed that every answer held validity and is correct in its own right‚ which they can debatably be deemed as so. So it led me to ask ”what is the sense of questioning when there is no definite answer”. Then I found their use is to challenge ourselves‚ in the sense of checking our perspectives in the everyday encounters we face‚ along with recognizing our privilege

Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and tidal barrages are better for the environment than nuclear power and fossil fuels. They also have the potential to last forever. So why are they not being used all over the world? A reason for this is because switching to renewable energy as a primary source would cost a lot of money. Some countries don’t think it is worth it‚ and others simply can’t afford to. There are also many nations that earn a vast amount of money from oil and coal‚ that wouldn’t

Why renewable power sources are better than nuclear power? Nuclear power is the most productive power source. However‚ there are several ongoing debates around the efficiency and the usage of nuclear power. Several factors such as the catastrophes in Chernobyl and Fukushima and the depleting of coal and gas reserves have led to the idea behind the renewable power sources. The renewable power sources are the future of the energy production in the world. Renewable energy is the energy that
