other hand non-renewable resources cannot be restored after being used once it’s used. Additionally non-renewable resources are in limited supply and be used once. Examples of these resources are Coal‚oil and natural Gasses‚ they are known to be fossil fuels; They take millions of years to form. They have to be mined or drilled from deposits deep within the earth. And the Reason we should save them is because if we don’t what will we have left for example if we use too much paper we will end up cutting

States. Renewable energy is any energy that its source is naturally replenished‚ which is solar‚ wind‚ geothermal or hydroelectric action. There’s another type of source called fossil fuel which is coal‚ oil‚ or gas there are nonrenewable source. Fossil fuels provide energy at a lower cost than renewable energy‚ but fossil fuel is the largest source of carbon dioxide which allows radiative forcing and contributes for global warming and the fear that it can all run out.

demand for fossil fuels growing through out the world‚ there is with out a doubt a lack of supply for this demand. The United States is the world’s highest consumer of fossil fuels because of the amount of Automobiles that we have on the roads every day. This is not one of the statistics that a country should be proud of being at the top of. Since the United States is the leader of the consumption of these fossil fuels‚ the government is making an effort to look for alternative fuels that we can

and at the same time‚ the declining availability of fossil fuel‚ many countries seek cheap‚ alternative ways to produce electricity for their people. As nuclear energy is cheap because of the large amount of uranium reserve on Earth and that it is also able to produce large amount of electricity‚ it has become the most likely solution to solving this issue. 3.

largest source of energy. “Coal is the world’s most abundant fossil fuel - more plentiful than oil and natural gas. It is second only to oil as a source of energy that we use. Coal is widely used because it’s easily obtained‚ there’s lots of it‚ it’s well distributed throughout the world‚ and it has a high energy content.” Coal usually has a negative impact on environment‚ mining can damage ground and surface waters and when coal burns as the fuel it releases carbon dioxide.

Before we define something whether they are good for society or not‚ we should consider what a good society is. In thinking about the characteristics of a good society‚ different people tend to emphasize different things that they consider to be important. However‚ there might be some characteristics of a good society that nearly everyone would agree on and what factors
