The Benefits of Renewable Energy

The Benefits of Renewable Energy

The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere has reached to a dangerous level.

According to these warning levels of pollution, scientists  and engineers are eagerly

looking to reduce the emissions of (CO2) and cut the it by shifting gradually to

renewable energy. The benefits of using renewable energy are enormous since it makes a healthier environment and boosts the economy greatly. 

First, the goal is to find a healthier alternative to cut the emission completely and that requires a lot of effort and research. Since it’s hard to generate as much as we are getting from the non-renewable energy like fossil fuel and petrol, many people are not enthusiastic about this transformation. Using petrol and other fossil fuels is the easier choice for many since it is cheaper to use and widely available everywhere unlike renewable energy.

Renewable energy examples range from solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, to biomass energy. They all share a great list of efficient benefits. Firstly, they limit or even completely stop global warming which is one of the biggest crises our planet is facing which will cause in the near future many floods and the vanishing of sea coasts and islands. Also, it is surely a more reliable and resilient choice since it is a vast and inexhaustible source of energy. Finally, it provides a great advantage for us humans giving us improved public health, a better environment, and more jobs to offer for engineers such as me to work in.
