The Benefits Of Renewable Clean Energy

In today’s world our growing need for energy has created more demand for more resources. The population and technology influences the need for energy. This energy is not just in our lights and heat but in our transportation needs as well as other life systems. Currently coal, gas, and oils power most of our needs while renewable energy is following behind and being used in some portions. The need to bring renewable energies into focus is one in which our business and communities can do. Renewable clean energy sources can help use control climate change while saving on some of non-renewable resources. Building a sustainable energy community can be done by involving the whole community as well as local government. The U.S. Department of Energy has created programs to assist local government and business in building sustainable markets (USA.Gov, 2012). These programs also focus on maintaining air pollution as well as other pollution issues. The use of sustainable …show more content…
Many plants won’t meet the new standard the EPA is putting out without costly technology to capture and store carbon emissions. Gas is on the rise and trying to take over, but it also is a fossil fuel and puts out GHG in quantity. The new proposal only address new power plant yet is lining the path for the proposal on existing plants (Koch, 2013). While coal fire plants may be used in lesser amounts to pull in sustainable energy the use of coal will still be a factor. In efforts to build our community with sustainable resource local government and officials are looking at two energy sources which would work in our area. Biomass which comes from plant materials and animal waste which is found on the outskirts of the community through our farmers. Then there is hydroelectric power which utilizes the movement of the nearby river to generate
