Why alternative energy is
important?
Fossil fuel has been an important part of the development of
the human beings. It has been one of the main sources of
energy and humans are very reliant upon it. However,
alternative sources of energy are developed to replace fossil
fuel in the future. This is very important for two primary
reasons.
Firstly, fossil fuel is a finite resource and it is non-renewable.
In the future, fossil fuel is going to run out or it is going to
become too expensive to use. If fossil fuel becomes too
expensive to use, people will just start using something else.
Solar energy or wind energy are two examples of practical
sources of future energy. In fact, many countries have
installed solar panels and built windmills to generate power.
The second reason is that fossil fuel contributes to climate
change. Over the years, fossil fuel emissions have polluted
the air, land and even water. However, renewable energy
such as solar power or wave power are eco-friendly. If we
replace fossil fuel by solar power, for example, we will save
our planet too.
1. Fossil fuel has been the only source of
energy.
2. In the future, fossil fuel won't be used
up.
3. Solar panels are installed in many
countries.
4. Fossil fuel can cause climate change.
5. Renewable energy such as solar power
doesn't damage the environment.
