Give reasons for switching over from fossil fuels to other sources of energy.
● Sun, wind, and water are alternate sources of energy.
● Energy from these sources is non-polluting, renewable and efficient.
● To produce these energies all you need is sunlight, running water and wind.
● Not only does the use of renewable energy sources help reduce global carbon dioxide emissions, but they also add some much-needed flexibility to the energy resource mix by decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels which are limited.
● These renewable energy sources create their own energy.
● The object is to capture and harness their mechanical power and convert it into electricity in the most effective and productive manner possible.
● There’s more than enough renewable energy sources to supply all of the world’s energy needs forever; however, the challenge is to develop the capability to effectively and economically capture, store and use the energy when needed.
