Due to the ever so growing population around the different regions of the world, the necessity for more energy sources is becoming more significant. With the current energies that we use right now, we've become mainly dependent on fossil fuels. But eventually, those fossil fuels will deplete and we'll have lost our primary resource. Before this can happen, we need to start thinking about how we can take advantage of the potential energies that we have at our disposal. When fossil fuels deplete, we can be ready for that should we take initiative now.
What we should turn to is renewable resources and energy. A renewable resource is a resource that will not be depleted once used. Rather, it will be replenished by a process that occurs without human involvement. But what makes it renewable is that, it will replenish faster than at the rate it is being consumed. Renewable energy is a source of energy that can be used as many times necessary and it does not need a compound made from the Earth itself. There are many different types of renewable resources and renewable energy that we use for energy today. Acknowledged renewable resources are hydro energy, geothermal, and solar radiation. Common types of fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gases. An energy source that conserves the environment and that is harmless to people is the primary precedence.
Another reason why it is better to find alternative sources of energy is that, the usage of fossil fuels harms the environment. It's hard to think about it because we've become so dependent on it, and we thrive from it. These fuels are extremely limited, and they can cause pollution and things like global warming, air pollution, and acid rain. We are acquainted to using fossil fuels as our primary source of energy. Fossil fuels are burned every day in order to create energy, and this just adds to the destruction of the environment and the ecosystem.
