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, 39^th 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.
