Fossil fuels may seem a good source of energy today but what about tomorrow? Renewable resources have always been an alternative but technology has not been able to make much use of them. Sooner or later they will be the main source of energy and will be probably more efficient and less pollutant.

There are many renewable sources. Renewable sources are things that use a source that wont end such as wind and solar. Many more renewable power sources-- ethanol, hydropower, wave, tidal, ocean thermal, geothermal. Sources like fossil fuels is a resource that will sooner or later run out. Coal, oil, and natural gas-are Americas primary source of energy, accounting for 85% of current us fuel use. Non renewable resources such as fossil fuels, coal, and natural gas are more pollutant and less of it.”The union of concerned scientists conclude that fossil fuels cause environmental degregation caused by global warming.” Renewable sources will make the earth’s atmosphere cleaner and will save energy.

Efficiency is the main thing about power sources and their quality, which is why using rechargeable batteries last longer than batteries that contain alkaline and the alkaline batteries also contains mercury a liquid metal that can causes poisoning. There are about 100 million households in America if a compact fluorescent lightbulb was installed in everyone of them, the energy saved would be equivalent to the energy generated by a nuclear power plant running full-time for a year though many solar panels are very costly about $100 per square foot for a typical installation. It may seem a little too much but solar cells’ average life expectancy is 30 years more than half of the power cells will end up being free. Power cells is what makes the energy from the sun’s rays.The shortest payback with new-film cells is less than a year so you’ll be getting rewarded eventually.

Global warming is one of our problems in society in places like the north in the Arctic the ice cap is shrinking in size annually. What causes global warming is mostly fossil fuels, coal, and other non-renewable sources are very pollutant. Renewable sources main function is to reduces greenhouse emissions and pollution. Reducing greenhouse emissions not only means building solar plants and wind turbines we can help rebuild the forests by plant a few trees in your own yard. The U.S. greenhouse emissions actually fell 7.5 percent from 2008 to 2009 due to improved intensity.If we continue to use renewable power sources the greenhouse emissions will fall a little bit more year by year. People may disagree with renewable energy such as wind energy and solar panels. On the other hand Coal and oil may be a good resource as of now but years probably decades from now gas prices will be 15 dollars a gallon but if we go to our alternative sources will more or likely be able to save a lot more energy and money overall.

Renewable fossil fuels are more efficient and more of it.There are more alternative resources out there that can be used and releases less greenhouse gases than fossils fuels, oil, and coal. Sources like solar and wind can make good source of energy but we will need more just wind and solar power. Money donated to some organizations may build solar plants wind farms but you can help too by recycling or drive less perhaps clean your car a cleaner engine does use a little less gas.
