Renewable energy is the future, why depend on fossil fuels when we can go renewable.”’
hopefully, we would be shifting more and more towards green energy in the future.:*-
Renewable Energy got into more focuse in this decade because everyone does not want to depend on Oil.”*;
oh how i wish that we are all using Alternative sources of energy instead of oil ~
We have no choice.
We will have to move towards green energy whether we like it or not.
It involves very complex issues though
I hope I’m wrong but I doubt that renewable energy sources can supply the ever increasing worldwide demand for energy. Maybe nuclear power is our only option. I hope not becasue this fills me with great trepidation
we must shift into the use of Green Energy to prevent further pollution of this planet-::
we should ban all sorts of fossil fuels and invest more on alternative energy~*-
i think government funding should be diverted on the research of Green Energy and renewable power sources~~.
renewable energy should be developed more coz fossil fuels are not good in the long term-~-
We can’t allow global warming to go any further
The future of mankind (our children) depends upon this
alternative energy is the best option that we can choose if we really want clean sources of power”,,
green energy is of course very important that is why we have to concentrate on using hydrogen and alternative energy sources;:’
there is no better way of harnessing nature’s energy other than the use of alternative energy sources ~
depending on fossil fuel is always a bad idea, we should always concentrate on renewable energy *:.
