In the current era of industrialization, the use of Fossil fuels has increased drastically and will lead to depletion of these resources in coming future disturbing the ecological cycle.
Thus
, the experts and Scientists have started investigating the alternate power
source
,
Accept space
,
 which can generate
energy
 in comparison to that of fossil fuels. In my opinion, I completely agree that it is a positive development and should be encouraged to
further
 research. The following essay would discuss my understanding in detail.
To begin
 with, one of the prominent disadvantages of fossil fuels is that it is not a renewable origin of
energy
, which take enormous time for its regeneration in comparison to the rate at which people are consuming.
As a result
, if there will be no control on the usage rate of these biofuels, it would be a history for the coming generations. In continuation, the alternate
source
 of
energy
 is an everlasting
source
 of vitality. The intensity of sun, Wind and Sea does not release the toxic gases and pollute the environment.
For example
, burning of fossil fuels causes the release of carbon dioxide, which is the main reason for the depletion of the ozone layer as well as for global warming. The emission released by vehicles causes a dense fog in winter affecting the visibility leading to accidents on highways and affecting the schedules of Public transports. The disadvantage of alternative cause of
energy
 is the initial set up cost is high and is
also
 dependant on geographical location.
For example
, windmills are to be set up on mountains, but once installed maintenance cost is negligible. And it is
also
 dependant on climatic conditions. To conclude, the research and investment in alternative
source
 of power should be encouraged by the authorities to replace biofuels for clean and healthy environment.
