Fossil fuels VS Renewable energy

The problems of 'fossil' fuels and the opportunity of renewable energy.

Fossil fuel has three types of energy such as coal, oil, gas or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years. it's very popular to use in the world but become run out soon because we'are a long time ago and fossil fuel is not renewable. The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, Fossil fuels also have a broader, more global impact by contributing to global warming. 

Fossil fuels cause pollution which impacts the environment directly. The bigger cities such as Mumbai and Pakistan have problems with air pollution. The pollution not just in the air, but also in the land and the water. The pollution from human activities, such as electric power, industry, and transportation. When fossil fuels are burned, they release nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which contributes to the formation of smog and acid rain. Major sources of nitrogen oxide emissions include Cars and trucks, Coal-fired power plants, Large industrial operations, airplanes.

It can change the natural environment and weather patterns. The pollution can create acid rain which can kill plant life. It can activate weather patterns like El Nino which can create droughts and La Nina which can cause floods. It can make places drier and others more wet. It can cause sea levels to rise and impact coastal communities.

It threatens the survival of many animal species. The problems of pollution affect not just humans but it can affect an animal as well. Pollution in the ocean can include plastic and other chemicals but also changing temperature. These things make the challenger their survival because some animals are very sensitive to some things for theme.

These are just a few of the problems of fossil fuels and the reason why we should use renewable energy. 

Renewable energy is not limited and causes little to no pollution. There are many natural sources of energy such as solar, wind, hydro and geothermal.

Solar, the energy created by the heat and light of the sun is called solar energy. Solar power is produced when solar energy is converted into electricity or used to heat air, water or other substances. Solar energy can also be used to create solar fuels such as hydrogen.

Wind, This energy type is electricity generated by harnessing the wind. Wind turbines use the energy of the wind to spin an electric generator, which produces electricity. Wind turbines are commonly located on hilltops or near the ocean. In some countries, wind turbines have also been built in the ocean.

Hydropower or hydroelectricity is produced by passing water, usually from a reservoir or dam, through an electricity generator known as a turbine. As the water passes through the turbine blades, it drives the generator to convert the motion into electrical energy.

Geothermal energy is heat from the Earth. It is a renewable energy source with multiple applications including heating, drying, and electricity generation. Earth’s heat in the form of fluids like steam or water. The temperatures achieved to determine the possible uses of its energy.

In conclusion, there is very little evidence to show any negatives to renewable energy but many to climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels. We need to encourage a transition to a carbon-free economy to preserve the natural world, to maintain our current quality of life and elevate the quality of life of billions of people living without access to reliable and clean energy.

The proven capacity of renewable energy to meet the needs of the community for example in Australia 

-South Australia has had days where they were 100% powered by renewable energy.

-NSW, Australia's most populated state, recently had 50% of its needs met.

-ACT has achieved 100% renewable energy generation by 2020.
