Alternative energy sources will save the world
Crucial
Slowing climate change
Renewable energy
Pro's
Renewable
Con's
Mining for the materials
This can damage species if not done responsibly
Can be avoided by proactive planning
Strategies
Currently 17% current global energy
Must increase to reduce greenhouse emissions
Natural
Replenish themselves without human help
Kinds of alternative energy sources
Solar energy
Harness power straight from sun
Light, heat but also cooking
Sun will always be there
No type of fuel, so no risk for planet
No pollution
Lower carbon foorprint
No more paying for electric companies
but have to infest yourself
You can trap energy
Wind energy
No pollution
No extra fuel and no mining
Doesnt take up a lot of space
benefits agriculture
Is free
Geothermal energy
Earth's heat to create energy
Earth captures energy and stores it in its surface
No fossil fuels
Energy is already there
All year use
Hydro-electric energy
Uses the power of water to create energy
Water flows/falls
No pollution nothing
Biomass energy
Biomass energy is taken form organic matter, including waste, plants, and animals.
adsorbs energy from the sun and stores it
By burning it energy becomes free
Always enough waste
Traditional energy
Coal, fossils
polluting
Speeding up global warming process
Even though that investment might scare some people, if we put things into perspective, alternative energy sources are the future of our planet, and we should invest as much as possible into them.
Benefits of using alternative energy sources
Conserve fossil fuels
Slow and reverse climate change
Reduce severe weather
Save lives
Air pollution
Minimize fuel dependency
Economic and job development
As alternative energy technologies continue to improve, the cost simultaneously falls
