could occur through the use of renewable energy sources. The impact of energy sources on global warming and climate change is escalating, this creates the debate whether to use renewable energy or not. However, these alternatives come at a cost. In a world that is rapidly industrialising and technologically developing, energy resources will only be more in demand. By the year 2010, 93% of global energy was generated through non-renewable energy sources such as, oil, gas, coal and nuclear power (Bose

Solar power as alternative energy Since forty percent of America’s energy consumption comes from oil, many can agree that there is no immediate solution out of oil dependence in the United States. We rely heavily on oil in our transportation sector with trains, planes, boats, and vehicles depending on gasoline and diesel fuel exclusively. Our dependency in oil is followed by our dependency in coal and gas as they are primarily used to produce electricity. Oil, coil and natural gas are called fossil

correlation with the society’s economic success. With fossil fuel energy sources becoming more expensive to extract, and the inevitability of oil and natural gas running out, our society must turn to alternative energy sources. These sources have been criticized and met with backlash because of how dependent and accustomed Western society has become to fossil fuel energy. Many arguments have been put forth against and for alternative energy sources, such as hydroelectricity, solar power, and wind energy
