The use of conventional fuels (coal and oil) for the production of energy has caused detrimental effects on the planet with the emissions of greenhouse gases. Switching most of, but hopefully entirely, the world’s population to alternative renewable energy is the only way to save Earth from the decline of the ozone layer. The ozone layer blocks UV radiation that causes many health problems for people and animals, but the ozone layer also aids in the regulation of the planets normal homeostasis. Without this perfect balance life could no longer sustain as it is known to be, or even possibly not at all. These renewable sources are far cleaner than conventional sources, which will in turn help everyone in the world. Along with the higher†¦show more content†¦Conventional energy sources cause damage directly to the Earth itself just to gather the oil. This large amount of time and effort is essentially a waste when the oil gathered is used so rapidly, the earth canâ€℠¢t even replace it at a rate to keep up with demand. This will lead to the loss of this seemingly simple commodity (Breede, Security and energy capture: the military perspective). The availability of the sun is just as you see it daily. Along with that, the conversion of solar rays to usable energy does not release any damaging greenhouse gases, unlike the beloved petroleum oil used to widely today. Where understandably anyway we gather energy will have some sort of impact on the planet, but the impact of the gathering, transportation, and burning (converting to usable energy) has a by far larger impact in just about every way, compared to any form of renewable energy (Union of Concerned Scientist, Environmental Impacts of Renewable Energy Technologies). Still with this knowledge the switch to renewable energy has been slow to progress. So to increase availability of renewable discovery of several different forms have been introduced to consumers, including the well-known solar, win d, geothermal but also the less common such as biomass, hydroelectric and hydrokinetic. This range of options is to make sure that fuels should be an absolute last resort. Some
