What Would you rather use
Fossil fuels are deposits of carbon deep underground or beneath the sea. They are composed of fossilized remains of plants and animals which over time have decayed and have slowly worked its way deep underground, and then millions of years later we can dig up these fossil fuels. Which the common form of fossil fuels can come in coil, oil, petroleum and even natural gas.
Alternative energy also know as renewable energy, is a source of energy that is naturally regenerated over a short period of time which is harvested from the sun, such as thermal, photo-chemical and photoelectric. Then there is energy that is not collected from the sun such as wind, hydro-power, and photosynthetic energy stored in bio mass. Then there are other mechanisms of the environment such as geothermal and tidal energy.Renewable energy is a source of energy that does not derive from fossil fuels, waste products from fossil source's, or waste products from organic sources.
How fossil fuels are damaging our earth
Fossil Fuels hurt the environment by releasing carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse glasses into the air and water that we need in order to survive. In turn, methane and nitrous oxide trap heat and are one of the causes of global warming. Nitrous oxide lingers in the air's atmosphere for over 100 years making it particularly dangerous. The world health administration is claiming that air pollution is causing two million deaths per year.
My Opinion
I think that alternative energy is more reliable due to the variety of forms and way that it comes in. I also think that it's cleaner and easier on the environment. I think this because we don't have to dig up the oil, coil, or petroleum that is needed when using fossil fuels, if we all go alternative, also we don't have to destroy the earth when using renewable energy like we do when we use fossil fuels. Another reason why I would go alternative is the fact that it takes millions of years for these fossil's to form so we could use them, Which we don't have time for that.
DIRECT QUOTES
It seems to me like Mother Nature's mercy and forgiveness have run dry, as we ceaselessly abuse her and take her for granted in order for us to continue our addiction to using fossil fuels. I've gotta say, I don't blame her. Not one bit.
Gloria Reuben
The sooner we get started with alternative energy sources and recognize that fossil fuels makes us less secure as a nation, and more dangerous as a planet, the better off we'll be.
Lindsey Graham
We need an energy revolution by breaking our dependence on fossil fuels, polluting fuels... I am very, very confident our small state will lead this. We will be noticed by the country and the world.
Bernie Sanders
The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.
