Why Renewable Energy Is So Important
In todays society, we use gasoline to power our cars and boats and planes and that gasoline is made from oil. However, the more oil we use to power the things we need, the less of it there becomes. Thats because oil and coal, and other Earth resources that must be mined in order to be utilized for electricity and power, are in limited supply. The more we use, the less we have and one day we will run out. Thats why more people than ever today are trying to push for our government and our society to adopt renewable energy as the energy source of the future.
What Are Some Examples Of Renewable Energy?
Renewable energy is energy that can be used again and again. Some great examples of renewable energy are solar energy, geothermal energy, hydro powered energy and even wind powered energy. These types of energy are renewable, which means that they wont run out. As long as the sun is shining, we have solar power, as long as the Earth has energy and heat under its crust, we have geothermal energy and as long as there is water and wind, we have both wind and hydro energy. These sources are readily available, they just havent caught on as the main source of energy in this country, or in the world.
No, today we are too dependent on oil and gas to power the things we need powered. However, if we dont act right away, we could soon find that we will run out very soon. The time to act is now. If we wait until all of the oil and gas is gone before we start to turn to renewable energy, it may be too late. Technology, useful and cost effective technology needs to be created now so that we can all begin to use renewable energy instead of the Earths resources that arent in such abundant supply.
You can make a difference by writing your local government. They know about renewable energy, it is just that we are so dependent on other energy sources at the moment. We are so dependent on them, in fact, that we are fighting over oil control and certain other energy means, when there are other renewable energy sources that are available and just waiting to be harnessed.
So, write as many letters as you can to your local government and get the word out that we need to start making the most use of renewable energy today before we find ourselves completely depleted of all the non-renewable sources weve become so dependent on.
