Write a letter to your representative stating the reasons why he/she should support the use and research of renewable resources and should decrease the use of non-renewable resources in industry.
Please include at least three specific examples of each renewable and non-renewables, how they are produced, the relative costs of the production,
and also environmental impacts of each.
The renewable and non renewable sources for the benefit and the application of human have always been in the debate about their usage.
We know that the renewable sources are also known as non conventional source of energy while the non renewable are the conventional sources of energy being harnessed by human from past many years.
But today the concern is the source of energy that can fulfill the sustainable development that is fulfilling thye needs of human without harming the nature. It is well known that the non renewable sources are exhaustible and we can be out of stock from them, so there is a basic and ultimate need of the switching our needs to be replenished with the help of renewable sources than the non renewable sources.
IN this concern we can replace the fulfillment of electrical energy to be produce by solar, thermal and wind resources instead of coal.
Coal is getting diminished as most of it has been mined. While the sun, water and air are the natural sources that will never exhaust and can be used as much as possible. They are the ways that can not only fulfill the scarcity of electricity and related issues.
Solar energy: Solar energy needs very little startup investment of money that includes the solar panels that uses the sunlight and convert sunlight to electricity. The cost is very less as the sun is natural source. Similarly water and air are the natural sources that require very less effort and monetary requirement and hence it could be in reach of every person,
On the contrary the non renewable sources like coal, oil and natural gases are exhaustible so we have to use them in such a way that they can be used for many years in future where they are more required(where there is no alternative). The cost of processing these resources is so high and require lot of efforts to achieve the QC. the oil and natural refinery are the live example as we can see their depletion is causing effect on the price of oil like petrol.
SO it is mandatory to shift to the non conventional nonj exhaustibel resources from non renewable ones.
