Energy
Problems
Air Pollution Many power plants that use
coal emit smoke which pollutes the air or diesel cars.
:blue_car:
Finite Resources :gem: the majority of the energy we make comes from fossil fuels that come from the earth :earth_asia:.These resources are unsustainable and run out,these resources pollute the most.
Global Warming :fire: Global warming is the slow heating of the world caused by green house gases. Normally the light from the sun usually reflects of the earth and causes heat, However greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trap heat in the earth and stop it from reflecting causing the surface of the earth to heat up. You might not notice the change in heat but over time in can cause quit a lot of change. If the earth keeps on heating up ice caps will melt to such a degree that coastal cities could be flooded.
Cost and Profit :moneybag: Sustainable energy is expensive to produce. Wind turbines can cost up to 80,000 USD Depending on the amount Kilowatt :zap:,Sustainable energy is also hard to profit from.

Technology
Nuclear Power: It is one of the biggest pollution to the environment. It is invisible so you don't know if it is damaging the environment.
Wind Turbines: To construct the turbines, we are digging holes in the earth, to collect wind kinetic energy.
Geothermal Heat: Hydropower plants produce Geothermal Energy/Heat and they pollute the air with toxicated smoke.
Opportunities
What are the opportunities we have? We can try and find more safer technology instead of fossil fuels. For example, we can use wind turbines more than fossil fuels.

Nature
Deforestation :evergreen_tree: To find the resources for producing the energy, we need to cut down the forest for space to mine :pick:
Affect Animal :monkey:
Animals doesn't have place to live and no food to eat, there only choice is to leave or to stay die
Extinction :skull:
If Animals are keep on dying, there won't be any species left, the whole eco system will corpse and lead to further more extinction of other kind of animals

Atmosphere
After the fuel have been use, the gases are released into the atmosphere blocking the sun ray from escaping.
Global Warming :fire:
Change of weather and crazy weather. The earth is getting warmer, ice caps are melting
