Introduction
Renewable energy is the type of energy that is produced from natural processes that are replenished continuously. These may include; geothermal, sunlight, water, wind and may also be produced from the tides. This type of energy cannot be exhausted, and it is continuously renewed. This type of energy provides energy in essential areas including; electricity generation, transport, and off-grid energy services. The advantages of using renewable energy should be made to the public across or the countries in the world since it ensures sustainability and conserves the environment. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and discuss the advantages that are associated with using renewable energy and also examine why it should be recommended for against other non-renewable energy sources.
The discussions about renewable energy have become more common, several terms have been introduced to refer to this type of energy. It has also been referred as green or clean energy. Typically, anything that is used in creating energy and does renew itself is regarded as a renewable source of energy. These renewing form of energy includes hydro energy ‘water’ which is energy tapped from large-scale hydroelectric dams. Geothermal energy; this is a thermal form of energy that is tapped from the surface of the earth. Biomass; it is referred as biofuels. It is renewable because it gets its energy from the sun which is regarded as the most significant source of renewable energy.
I strongly advocate the renewable sources of energy because of the many benefits that these energies bring to the economy and the environment. These energies reduce the global warming emissions. This is because there are minimum emissions which are released into the atmosphere. Renewable energy also improves the quality of public health and enhance the quality of the environment. For example, this type of energy has numerous health benefits; this is because it has reduced the water and air pollution which is familiar with fossil fuel and is linked with breathing problems, cancer, and heart attacks. Another significant advantage of a renewable source of energy is that it is inexhaustible; renewable energy sources of energy cannot be depleted since they regularly renew themselves.
To begin with, renewable energy is key in preventing and reducing the negative climate changes. Phebe Asantewaa and Samuel Asumadu-Sarkodie in A review of renewable energy sources, sustainability issues and climate change mitigation the world’s need for energy plus the steadily increasing population have contributed greatly to the use of fossil fuel energy such as coal. These form of energy result in many challenges such as greenhouse gas emission and exhaustion of reserves where the fossils are generated from. Such problems have caused many environmental concerns which not only affect the environment but also cause numerous disadvantages to the climate.
Excessive use of non-renewable energy sources such as fossils results to the production of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere where it increases the levels of the greenhouse effect. Use of renewable energy sources would help in reduc...
