In many of today’s many scientific theories, many scientists believe that Global warming is increasing and we must do something before we all die. Al Gore says “The serious debate over the climate crisis has now moved on to the question of how we can craft emergency solutions in order to avoid this catastrophic damage” (Global Warming Is an Immediate Crisis 292); the reason, Co2 emissions caused by fossil fuels. Many people believe renewable energy is the way of the future. I believe renewable energy is the future too; but not because of global warming but, because Oil is causing more problems than “global warming” but political and economic problems.
Oil is a fossil fuel and there is only so much of it left. With high fuel prices the energy companies make billions while the average Joe has a hard time filling up has vehicle with $3.78 gas. Oil has also caused political problems especially in the Middle East. Don’t get me wrong though oil is the most reliable source of energy out there. Almost everything runs on Oil and America depends on it so much. I personally think we should still use oil while making a steady transition to a nation run on renewable energy. When and if the nation is fully run on renewable energy, oil will still be useful; it could become a major export commodity for lesser developed countries. Oil will always be used till it is used up.
Renewable energy is the plan for the future, with recent discoveries and technology breakthroughs we have a bright future in head of us. Talk about brightness, photovoltaic cells capture the suns light. The concept of solar energy has (using photovoltaic cells) has been around since the 1960’s. Solar energy first powered the satellites orbiting earth; now we have solar energy powering thousands of homes. Solar energy is becoming increasingly popular; production of photovoltaic cells has doubled every two years since 2002, increasing by 48 percent each year. This makes it the world’s fastest-growing...
