Alternative sources of obtaining energy are being replaced in a lot of countries progressively, instead of coal, oil and natural gas which can’t be renewable. This essay will discuss how pollution will be reduced as a consequence of using commodities and can be provided as a solution for the problem of fossil fuel dependence. However, there are demerits too, installation of this equipment needs high investments. Moreover, weather conditions create reliance on them.
One of the motivations behind the decision to change to solar, wind and hydroelectric power is that producing energy by them decreases pollution, because they don’t require the process of extraction with the collapsing eco-system of certain areas as fuels nowadays. Second, a significant positive aspect, things such as coal,oil and natural gas are considered non-renewable and it is a problematic aspect of the future. If countries continue being dependent on these products, it will end by the time, consequently lose electricity. Therefore, Kazakhstan starts installing alternatives, and continuing development in wide regions, so in the future they can absolutely reduce fuels as an energy resource.
Turning to, negative aspects, despite their positive effect on the environment, their installation costs are very high compared to for example gas extraction that only needs gas. In other words, it is a new technology and their equipment requires at first high funding, and for countries in short-term perspective more profitable to invest money for fuel sphere. Next downside, energy production will reliant on weather. To illustrate, air and water could be peaceful, or sunny days could decrease. Furthermore, with changes in climate in last decades, it is difficult to predict conditions in certain place in a long-term perspectives. For example, in 2021 in the UK an unpredictable “wind drought”, so even residents were forced to change energy extraction by natural gas.
In conclusion, renewable energy sources are a beneficial but not problem-free replacement for fossil fuels. They reduce pollution and address the depletion of non-renewable resources, yet they require high installation costs and make energy production dependent on unpredictable weather. Despite these drawbacks, it is recommended that countries continue the transition while investing in reliable infrastructure and energy storage.
