As recently the population around the world have increased significantly, the usage of nonrenewable sources of energy has tremendously increased during the past years which has caused many issues
such

as global warming.
As a result
Linking Words
, many suggest that governments should prioritize the development of the exploitation of alternative resources. Due to the fact that crude oil was found in many countries by a large amount, it became accessible and affordable at the same time.
Therefore
Linking Words
, for many years we have consumed fossil fuel for various purposes,
for example
Linking Words
, generating electricity for our cities, running our cars and even for our daily cookings. In the beginning, it wasn'

however
Linking Words
, as the population has increased, a rise in demand for petroleum has arisen.
Thus

source would not replenish as we use it and
consequently
Linking Words
, we will eventually dry out our oil wells which would definitely lead to an energy crisis afterwards.
In addition
Linking Words
, our current excessive usage of oil has caused a conundrum called global warming which was the direct effect of releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere in the process of ignition of

fuel.
Hence
Linking Words
its benefits have been questioned by many environmental activists these days. As opposed to petroleum, renewable sources
for instance
Linking Words
geothermal, wind and solar energies, are not only far less detrimental to the environment but
also
Linking Words
as the name suggests, they're infinite.
In other words
Linking Words
, we could provide a whole city with electricity without neither contributing to global warming nor worrying we would run out of it.
However

area which would evidently cost governments with money and time which have been the main reason for countries to avoid

investment.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, as people become more aware of the situation, they've rapidly joined the trend to demand the governments to reprioritize their fundings. In conclusion, due to the demerits that fossil fuel brings like an increase in the temperature of the earth, many have proposed to increase the utilization of renewable energies. In my opinion,
