ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF ENERGY

Introduction:
The world has been overly relying on oil as a source of energy to fuel most of
its operations. It is important to note that as much as 80% of the world’s
energy comes from fossil fuel. Unfortunately, the fossil deposits we have in
the world cannot last forever. They will be depleted one day and cause a lot of
problems in the world.

Therefore, efforts should be made to ensure that other sources of energy are
found so that when fossil fuel gets depleted the world does not come to a halt.
In this regard, many people especially in the U.S. have been concerned with
the steps that the government is taking towards encouraging development of
other sources of energy.

Consequently, the government has been urged to reduce restrictions

impeding the development of renewable sources of energy and increase
funding of the same. However, to address this issue, it is better to understand
some of the sources renewable energy.

Importance:
An alternative energy source that would provide environmentally friendly
electricity would be solar energy. It is good for the environment because
in other parts of the world the sun gives less light. Which is bad in some
places because you need light to see.
How are you supposed to see when you don’t have light? Solar energy is
a renewable energy source. Solar energy isn’t the best in Newfoundland
but wind energy is. There is wind energy set up in St. Lawrence. Its great
for saving energy for electricity. Using renewable energy sources will get
more important as our population increases because they are limited. Did
you know over 90% of the electrical energy generated in Newfoundland
and Labrador is at hydroelectric generating plants. Like an examples is the
one at Petty Habour. Another alternative energy source that would...the
best part of alternative source of energy. We could put these sources in
communities and countries to make environment. These sources helps us
to lives good and a healthy life.
