The United States currently relies heavily on fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas for its energy. These are finite resources, in volatile parts of the world, that will pollute our air and water before they finally run out or become too expensive to retrieve.
Renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar replenish themselves on a reliable basis.
Security is one of the most important advantages provided by renewable energy. By diversifying our national energy mix renewable energy reduces dependence on foreign countries to meet our growing energy demands.
By implementing clean energy producing technologies electricity is created with less impact on the environment. This means cleaner air, water and a healthier planet for future generations.
Pollutants from fossil fuels have a dramatic impact on air quality which has been linked to respiratory illnesses
in the elderly and children.
Energy efficiency is still the first step to reducing electricity bills and our impact on the environment.
Renewable energy is predicted to supply 60 percent of the world's electricity by 2060. |
