Renewable
energy
sources
, such
as solar or wind power, have become effective alternatives in recent years, so some people
recommend replacing fossil fuels
with them. On the other hand
though, there still some who prefer to continue using fossil fuels
, as they are cheaper. Both of these notions are logical, but arguments exist.
Many people
support the idea of turning to renewable energy
sources
as soon as possible. This
might be more understandable if we think about the causes that fossil fuels
have to the environment. In order to mine coal or gas, a large piece of land is destroyed from deep holes digging. On the other hand
, solar panels and air generators’ placement is easier and more environmentally friendly. To illustrate this
, in northern Greece, many air generators have been placed in specific areas, where no nature has been damaged, that the cities are now powered by wind power only. Furthermore
, as the word renewable indicates, these sources
are unlikely to end anytime soon. The sun and air are not limited, so the only thing that needs to be done is to use them wisely to our advantage. Thus
, it will be more effective if we start using these sources
of energy
.
However
, there are still some people
who believe we should continue using fossil fuels
. The main reason for that is
the pricing. Fossil fuels
’ cost is significantly lower than that of renewable energy
sources
. With this
in mind, there are many houses that may afford such
expenses, so they still prefer using conventional ways. For example
, in poor villages, families would probably mind taking care of their members, by providing everything at a low cost and not spending a fortune on energy
sources
. Moreover
, there are several countries’ interests at stake that concerns fossil fuels
mining. If we think about the power some countries have, we could immediately realize how difficult it would be to phase out fossil fuels
’ use. The wars that have been happening, for many years now, for this
reason, are only the tip of the iceberg.
To sum up, a change to renewable energy
sources
would be an environmentally friendly solution with great potential. However
, we cannot overlook the great expense of it and the fact that many people
will not be able to afford it.Submitted by mariannoula10 on
