Nowadays most green energy is becoming evermore prevalent in both developed and developing countries. Some argue they greatly reduce costs and are better for the environment, others believe they are a serious threat to energy security. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

 prevalent in
both
 developed and developing countries. Some argue they greatly reduce costs and are better for the environment, others believe they are a serious
threat
 to
energy
security
. Discuss
both
 views and give your opinion. The world today uses more renewable
energy
 than ever before since it contributes to the preservation of the environment and is economically sound;
however
, some argue that green
energy
 could undermine the reliability of the global supply
as a result
 of its dependency on climatic and meteorological phenomena.
This
 essay will examine
both
 views, but personally, I strongly advocate the adoption of renewable sources of
energy
. On the one hand, opponents of renewables claim that the world could face disruptions to the power supply should they be fully adopted.
This
 is largely due to the fact that many green
energy
technologies
 currently in use depend on changeable and unpredictable phenomena
such
 as wind, rain and cloud cover. To take the fastest growing sector as an example, solar panels can only be used in the presence of strong and direct sunlight, and
although
 the problem of directness has already been somewhat solved with moving panel arrays, a cloudy few days could still result in a blackout if we depended entirely on solar power; something
that is
 unlikely to occur today given current oil stockpiles.
However
, fossil fuels are a larger
threat
 to
energy
security
 since they are certainly finite in quantity, whereas renewable
energy
 is effectively infinite; once the Earth’s oil is depleted, there will be no
energy
security
 without green
energy
technologies
.
Furthermore
, problems of unpredictability can be mitigated by improving battery
technologies
 (to create a larger buffer), building more renewable
energy
 generators (to increase supply during ideal conditions) and improving current
technologies
 (to increase efficiency),
such
 as in the moving solar panel example. Proponents of renewables

 claim that they are the most economically sound option. To conclude, while many may believe that green
energy
technologies
 are a
threat
 to
energy
security
, the fossil fuels they frequently promote are a greater
threat
, and renewables are in fact the only sound option,
both
 economically and environmentally.
