many countries use fossil fuels as the main source of energy. however, in some countries the use of the alternative sources of energy is encouraged. to what extent do you agree of disagree with this development

Coal, oil and natural gas are major

sources

of

energy

all over the world. Of late, authorities have started promoting the use of renewable

sources

like wind and solar. In my opinion, I completely agree with

this

development because renewable

sources

are extremely eco-friendly.

Firstly

, it is undeniable that the usage of non-renewable resources has increased at an alarming rate. Fossil fuel currently supplies 85% of the world’s

energy

, but when burned, their carbon emissions are the main contributor to global warming.

This

leads to several problems like the melting of glaciers in the poles, depletion of the ozone layer and so on.

On the other hand

, renewable source produces clean

energy

.

Thus

, it creates a pollution-free environment and increases the quality of our planet as well as life on earth.

For example

, the WHO organization reported that there is a dramatic improvement in the air quality in the European countries after they started relying more on solar

energy

10 years ago.

Secondly

, fossil fuel requires millions of years to form from the dead vegetation and animals that get buried deep inside the earth and it cannot be produced in the laboratory as it requires extreme temperature and pressure.

Therefore

, the use of fossil fuels at

this

rate will lead to their exhaustion.

Besides

, it cannot be reused once it is burned. Unlike non-renewable

energy

, renewable

energy

is derived from resources that are replenished naturally.

In addition

, while the initial cost of installation is pretty high, the cost savings over the years easily justify

this

investment in solar or wind

energy

. In conclusion, alternative

sources

of

energy

should be encouraged because they produce clean and green

energy

that does not cause any real harm to the environment.

Also

, these

sources

are renewable and

hence

there is no danger of them ever getting exhausted.
