“Every 24 hours, enough sunlight touches the Earth to provide the energy for the entire planet for 24 years.”
Using solar energy to power our planet will have a lot less negative consequences than using fossil fuels. Solar energy, unlike fossil fuels, is a renewable source of energy and the only limit it has is how much sun you can capture. Additionally, solar is 100% natural and clean so it doesn't produce any pollution into our ozone. Moreover, the way that we collect this type of energy, by solar panels, although they can be expensive to buy they eventually pay for themselves. Because of these reasons solar energy is undeniably the best way to go forward for our planet.
Solar energy being a renewable energy source is important because we will never run out of it. With more emphasis on renewable energy and using domestic renewable energy sources instead of importing foreign oil we would drastically improve our energy security and energy independence.
With clean solar energy we can drastically reduce the amount of harmful gases being “sent” to the ozone every day because solar energy is 100% natural and it does not pollute the air. People have been using solar energy since the late 1950's on roof tops to heat up the water for their showers. Today people use solar energy to power homes, road signs, cars and more. Solar energy is a lot better than fossil fuels since it does not emit waste. Mr. Sparrow, a Science teacher at the Overseas Family School says, “Sometimes mining for lithium and cobalt used in batteries is more damaging for the environment than carbon emissions.” In only an hour, the amount of energy that shines on the Earth equals to the amount of energy used by the world’s entire population in an entire year.
Renewable Energy is the Way to Go Forward in Our Planet
