Nonrenewable energy
The show of a light is what gives us energy to do our everyday activities that we take for granted. What if the universe ran out of the resources used to make these events possible? What if heating in your household was not as easy of a task that could be done by pressing a simple button? This could be the problem if we continue to use nonrenewable resources. The article, Energy Resources states that the use of these resources "is increasing at an unprecedented rate due to the rapid industrialization of a number of formerly third world countries." At this rate, the oil sand and oil shales will severely be wiped out out in the future, along with the coal mines. Many of the essentials we always use these resources, and would …show more content…
Let’s say for example, gasoline was condensed from crude oil is still the cheapest form of energy for our automobiles and the most accessible, so people would tend to gravitate to use that a lot more. Not only that but trying to set up a specific are of solar panels would be really difficult and time consuming than just trying to use fossil fuels for power. Each new source of energy has its own downfall, causing it to stay as only a small percent of the primary energy production in the United States.

In addition, "the sun's energy is too widely spread out and the land that needs to gather the energy is far too vast for solar power to become a wide use power source for the long haul " (Leher). Wind energy however, has the tendency to be unreliable because of the fact that it only works when the wind in strong and enough to power to propel the turbines. The nuclear, plants present enormous threat to those who live near them because of the fact that they could melt down or be harmed Biofuels use corn to create ethanol, while "nearly 60 percent of the people on earth are currently malnourished according to the World Health Organization" (Pimentel). Each source of renewable energy has a downfall, but the benefits greatly outweigh those of the widely used nonrenewable resources. These issues are what cause people to have their reservations about using these resources but what most people don't realize is that there is a serious sense of urgency in switching from nonrenewable energy to renewable energy. The general public is also never even notified of the many benefits of alternative energy resources, so they are quick to defend nonrenewable resources based on their durability and their
