Introduction
As the world population continues to grow to nearly a billion people, one of the most discussed topics relates to climatic change and its effect on the environment. Being number 13 in the UN’s Sustainable development Goals (SDGs), I find this very topic exciting and amusing at the same time as it directly impacts the current and future generations. I plan to solely focus on climate change on this blog and how the world can help tackle this global challenge. The United Nations has over the years called for urgent action in dealing with climate change and its impact on the environment. However, this has proved a significant challenge in reducing carbon emissions from industrialized countries like China and the U.S in trying to promote the use of green energy. I cannot solely focus on climate change without mentioning clean and affordable energy, goal number 7 in the UN Sustainable development goals. Success in the fight against the effects of climatic change means that the world needs to embrace green energy as an alternative energy source to reduce the destruction of forests which play a significant role in carbon reduction. To fully understand climate change and its effects on future generations, this blog will explore the economic impact of green energy and answer questions such as what are the cost implications of using solar energy as compared to fossil fuel in the long term and how much financial costs are required to transition to green energy fully?
Research 1: Financial Implications
I conducted online research on numerous articles to try and answer the question of the financial implications of the use of green energy and its long-term effects on the environment. An online article I found seems to support the use of green technology as it has many long-term economic benefits compared to traditional fossil energy. It also shows the significant advantages of embracing renewable energy to control carbon emissions from industries. 
The article “Green Climate change and phenology” by Inouye (2022), states that the advantage of using renewable energy such as wind and solar energy is the low costs associated with production and storage. Unlike traditional non-renewable sources of energy that require a lot of human resources to generate and store power, green technology costs are minimal. For example, nuclear energy can be used to power hundreds of industries and homes as compared to fuels which cause pollution to the environment.  
The overall costs associated with the generation, transmission, and maintenance of fossil energy were much higher than green renewable energy, which seems to agree with other articles published on the topic. For example, solar energy was the most preferred source of green energy due to the low cost of production and maintenance. However, critics point out the unreliability of solar as they cannot fit in all geographical regions such as the Antarctic as they can only be powered by the sun. In addition, a huge number of solar panels may be required to produce an adequate amount of power that...
