Nowadays, fossil fuels have become the principal source of energy. Nevertheless, the use of renewable energy sources is well acclaimed. I firmly agree that this is a vital tool for a country’s growth as fossil fuels can represent a potential threat to nature.
Migrating to alternative sources can help mitigate the hazards of fossil fuels. To begin with, renewable energy sources like wind energy, solar energy and hydropower are environmentally friendly, in contrast to non-renewable sources which are the major causative agents of pollution. From manufacturing industries to vehicles like cars and trucks, releasing toxic gases to the atmosphere, it is undeniable that these factors play a negative role by deteriorating the image of cities thereby causing citizens to migrate to local areas leading to reduced workforce. consequently, green energy sources are beneficial for an eco-friendly environment like cars using electricity rather than fuels, encouraging rural exodus.
Moreover, due to their convenience and flexibility, the utilization of alternative sources should be prioritized. This is because they occur naturally and can be extracted effortlessly. In addition, they are cost-effective and easily accessible. Therefore replacing non-renewable sources with clean ones is economical and as a result should be encouraged. This can also be explained by the fact that these sources are inexhaustible and can be regenerated for reuse. The extraction of sun rays by photovoltaic celles in solar pannels to generate electricity, the use of wind turbines to convert energy from winds and the conversion of water to electrical energy thanks to a hydroelectric power plant are direct examples of the applications of alternative sources to promote development.
Ultimately, I strongly believe that, despite fossil fuels are principal sources, navigating to clean sources is the key to a coutry’s evolution. In my point of view, institutions should raise awareness about the detrimental effects of non-renewable sources and the government should disburse funds in order to make campains and educate the population.
