Argument of Fact
Unsustainable fossil fuels have been in controversy in the more recent years. The world’s population is constantly growing and changing with that the need for more energy grows as well. Right now, the main way to fulfill the need of these growing populations come from the use of fossil fuel. One major problem. Fossil fuel is unsustainable, and the need is overcoming the what the earth can create and produce. It is a matter of time when there is going to be a scarcity of fossil fuel. This is also putting a dent in on our ecosystems and the environment. Many counties are in the process of finding ways to produce an ecofriendly and sustainable energy. It is essential for progression, to remove the usage of fossil fuel and have other means to produce energy. You may ask, if fossil fuels are so important then why don’t we just make more? …show more content…
The obvious answer would be we would if we were able too. But that is not the case since fossil fuel is a natural made substance and process which we can’t recreate. To begin it takes hundred million and millions of years to make. It’s made from decaying plants and remains of living organisms that are buried under several layers of earth. Once under so many layers of immense amount of pressure and exposure to the earths heat the decomposed remains turns it to fossil fuel. Which forms combustible geologic deposits. Due to different amount of time and temperatures make up different kinds of fossil fuel. Professor Richard Alley mentions the differences that make fossil fuel, “woody plant make coal, slimy plants algae will give oil, and both give them rise to natural gas.” (Earth) Knowing what are fossil fuels and how nature created it brought out the idea of replacing it by finding other ways to produce energy. One way to get this energy would be from renewable energy. Renewable energy is inexhaustible source of energy such as from the sun, wind, and waves, and biomass, etc. There are several ways to get the most of renewable energy. One example would be placing solar panels where its open space and has no use like a desert to get its power by the sun. A great example would be the Italpu dam it is a dam that uses turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water to produce electricity. The renewable energy isn’t that far from becoming more common like the increase of productions of electric vehicles instead of vehicles running on gas. Which would drastically reduce the pollution in major cities. This is a great way of viewing renewable energy by harnessing the technology people are “turning consumers into "prosumers" who not only consume but also produce energy”. (Arkansas Business) In the long run not only would renewable energy be better for the environment, but financially as well. According to Nature there has been an17 % increase from global investments in 2014 for renewable energy. It seems that Fort Irwin the U.S. military are trying to see if “they can operate with renewables and the use of less fossil fuel." (Earth) The military isn’t the only ones, the U.S Marines are also getting involve with finding way to reduce the usage of fossil fuel. Some example of this would be the U.S Marines, “are
