Should the United States invest more money in renewable energy research and development as opposed to fossil and nuclear fuels?
The United States should invest more money into the research and development of renewable energy. These renewable resources would take the place of fossil fuels, which are non-renewable resources. Fossil fuels will not be here forever; they will be depleted soon. Therefore, we need to research and develop renewable energy so that we can make a smooth conversion from fossil fuels to renewable resources.
Fossil fuels are formed over millions of years so when they are gone there will be a long time before there will be anymore. That is why they are considered non-renewable resources. Fossil Fuels are going to run out soon; for example global reserves of oil will be economically depleted in about 40-80 year
