PROMOTING RENEWABLE ENERGY
"We simply must balance our demand for energy with our rapidly shrinking resources. By acting now, we can control our future instead of letting the future control us." – Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the USA.
It’s a
peaceful morning when you wake up. You make a cup of coffee and go outside to
get some fresh air. You notice that the air is fresher, the skies are clearer,
and the world has turned into a better place to live in. It feels like a dream, but
it isn't just a dream; it's a future, a path we can achieve by promoting
renewable energy, which is today’s topic.
Renewable
energy sources, which can be replenished in like no time, such as solar, wind,
and hydro power, are not only sustainable but also essential for our
planet's future. In 2023, renewable energy accounted for nearly 30% of global
electricity generation. That is a significant increase from previous years,
showing that the world can and is gradually shifting towards cleaner energy
sources.
But why
the shift? Well, renewable energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which
are a major contributor to climate change. By using renewable energy, we can
decrease our reliance on fossil fuels, which release harmful pollutants into
the atmosphere. This not only helps combat climate change but also improves air
quality, leading to better health outcomes for everyone.
Moreover,
renewable energy is becoming more affordable, as the cost of solar power has dropped by nearly 90% over the past decade. This makes it accessible to more
people and encourages wider adoption.
Renewable
energy sources are abundant and can be harnessed locally, reducing our
dependence on imported fuels. This makes our energy supply more stable and
resilient to global market fluctuations. And, in turn, it creates a more
sustainable, healthy, and prosperous future for all of us. By embracing this renewable
energy, we can ensure that future generations inherit a planet that is thriving
and full of life.
Thank you.
