With a changing climate, sensitive global economy, and wars in the Middle East, our need to look for renewable energy is ever increasing. Oil is not the renewable resource that we have been waiting for. In fact, oil is finite leaving us limited and dependent of others.
A renewable resource is a natural resource with the ability to replace itself in time. Oil has long been seen as limiting because of the finite amount of oil that has been measured that we are left with. With current technology, we can further exploit our lands and discover new reserves. But this does not really mean that it is renewable. With such a high global population, it cannot replenish itself at a similar speed as it’s used up. If we invest in green technology and using renewable resources such as solar and wind power, we could fund a greater nation. A politician saying that oil is a renewable resource will damage our country. We need to look for energy independence so that we do not need to rely on other countries.
We need to look for other alternatives.
We need energy independence.
We need to look for a better future!
