Why Renewable Energy?
Prevents damage to our environment
- Fossil Fuels are continuously releasing carbon dioxide in our environment
- Primary contributors to global warming and climate change
- Record high of atmospheric carbon dioxide at 409.8 PPM
Continuous energy production
- Renewable energy can produce energy for years on end unlike fossil fuels which are one time uses
- Our product will be durable and reliable which allows weight machines to create renewable energy for years
Sustainability
- Renewable energy sources have a low environmental impact as they use nature's resources without destroying it
- These same sources are naturally replenished by the environment like sunlight and waterways
- There are sources of natural energy all around us making it widely avaliable
Conserves Natural Resources
- There is a finite amount of fossil fuels in the world and many sources will be depleted by 2050
- Fossil fuels often require imports and exports only furthering the amount of energy used
Cost
- As technology for renewable energy improves it will actually end up being more reliable and efficient than fossil fuels
- When fossil fuels become more scare their cost will exceed renewable energy
