Assalammualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to listen. My name is Aulia Annisa Ferruntiano, and I’m
here today to talk to you about How do renewable energies save the world?

I wanna ask what is the world? is it earth? our planet? Our home? Haha, it sounds like Lil
Dicky’s song, Earth. Isn’t it? Okay, in its most general sense, the term "world" refers to the
totality of entities, to the whole of reality, or to everything that is. The nature of the world has
been conceptualized differently in different fields. There’s a quote that said:

“In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments –there are consequences.” –Robert Green
Ingersoll

So yeah, everything we do in nature will have consequences. We determine our actions to make
them good or bad. If we love this earth we must take care of our earth, we can save it from
climate change. As greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere that would otherwise escape
into space, average temperatures on the surface are rising. Global warming is one symptom of
climate change. Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also
extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of
other impacts.

In any discussion about climate change, renewable energy usually tops the list of changes the
world can implement to stave off the worst effects of rising temperatures. That's because
renewable energy sources such as solar and wind don't emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse
gases that contribute to global warming. Clean energy has far more to recommend than just being
"green."

Furthermore the costs of solar and wind have declined profoundly. Renewables are increasingly
the cheapest source of new electricity. In places as diverse as Australia, Brazil, Mexico, the cost
of electricity production from onshore wind power now is on par with, or lower than, fossil fuels.

Renewable energy also delivers for communities and builds resilience. Not having access to
electricity means missing out on many opportunities in life. This is still a reality for about 1.3
billion people in the world. But now, renewable energy is making energy access more
achievable.

In other countries like Denmark, wind provided for 41 percent of the country's electricity
consumption in the first half of 2014. And in the Philippines, renewable energy—mainly
geothermal—provides 30 percent of the country's electricity. How about Indonesia? Minister of
Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), Arifin Tasrif, highlighted that the new renewable
energy (EBT) mix in Indonesia is still far from the target. Of the target portion of NRE of 23
percent in 2025, the realization in 2020 has only reached 11 percent. In fact, Indonesia has all the
potential for renewable energy, such as solar, water, wind, geothermal, and bioenergy. Therefore,
we as a community also contribute to helping to immediately achieve the desired target. So that
our world can also be saved and we live in peace.
Renewable sustainable energy sources are no longer the stuff of science fiction. Every day there
are more and more examples of it being used and improved upon across our fragile planet. This
raises the question: where do you want to be? Stuck in the dark ages of fossil fuels, or basking in
the sun and wind of a clean energy future?

I just want to say save our planet because it’s not for me but us! I’m sorry if  I have a mistake,
and thank you for your attention. Wassalammualaikum wr wb.
