Alternative energy sources

Question 1

Explain the key reasons for developing alternative energy sources?

Answer 1

1. Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Greenhouse gases heat up the Earth, and reducing them lessens climate change and helps the environment.
2. Stabilizing global temperatures: From greenhouse gases, less icebergs melting etc.
3. Reduced air pollution: Burning fossil fuels releases pollutants that harm human health and the environment. Alternative energy sources, those with lower emissions, can reduce air pollution.
4. Addressing resource depletion: taking action to reduce the rate at which natural resources are being used up faster than they can be replenished.
5. Ensuring energy security: Guaranteeing constant access to sufficient energy at a reasonable cost.
