Renewable energy has opened an entirely new avenue for people to choose from. Whether it is utilizing solar energy or wind turbines, there are options out there for people to choose from instead of having to rely on fossil fuels. What’s even more advantageous is that renewable energy is clean and does not harm the environment in the way that fossil fuels do. Here are some facts on renewable energy and how it is shaping our society for the better.
More People Are Relying on Wind Power Than Ever Before
Did you know that Americans rely on wind power more than ever in the last 19 years? Since 2000, reliance on wind power has increased by 4,810%. This means that more and more homes have access to and are relying on wind power to power their homes. Relying on wind power is one of the cleanest forms of energy on the planet. It relies on natural sources of wind to turn wind-powered turbines that generate electricity. If this trend continues to grow, we may see more wind-turbines popping up around the country.
Our Dependency On Nuclear Power is Declining
Nuclear power is currently America’s largest source of carbon-free power. However, nuclear power is infamous for its instability and the fact that nuclear meltdowns have been known to happen in the past. Fortunately, there is a better solution that has hit the market and people are flocking towards it. Geothermal energy is a form of fracking that geologists use to create geothermal energy wells that would help produce massive amounts of clean energy. It is widely considered a much safer alternative to nuclear power and we may be seeing more of it in the future. However, the technique has not been fully developed yet and investors are working around the clock to find ways to make this possible. Keep your eyes peeled for any new information on geothermal energy and lend your support when possible to ensure that this source of clean energy makes it to the market.
Clean energy has the potential to replace all the mistakes that we have made as a population when it comes to energy production. We could see a clean energy revolution in the next 50 years if technology continues to improve. You can do your party by utilizing any source of clean energy you can and spreading awareness about these important methods that can save our planet.
