Why have we been developing different renewable resources in favor of non-renewable resources in the past few decades?

Answer 1

Non-renewable resources such coal, oil, fossil fuels....etc are not preferred. This is because once they have been used, they are not replaced in the nature. Instead the more they are used, the more they finish. Also, such resources have one big disadvantage; they cause air pollution when burned as they release toxic gases.

Renewable resources are preferred as they are the best ones. Once used, they do not decrease; they are replaced by nature itself. For example, solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy....etc.

These types of energy do not cause pollution and they are good for the environment.

In the years to come, the non-renewable resources will cease to exist but the renewable ones will still be there.

Taking into consideration all these advantages and disadvantages, we come to a conclusion that renewable resources are much better and that is why they are preferred over non-renewable resources

Answer 2

Because the non-renewable resources cause global warming and are becoming limited. Humans have been wasting the non-renewable resources and yet are in desperate need for energy. So we are developing renewable resources which cause no damage to the world.

Answer 3

The human race has been consuming the resources of the world at an ever increasing rate. This is because the human population is steadily increasing, and also because people are, on average, consuming more per person. Undeveloped nations are developing. People who used to ride bicycles are now riding cars (particularly in China). Non-renewable resources get used up. There could be terrible shortages, this century. The time to start planning is now.

Answer 4

• Non-renewable energy is the main cause of global warming, so we need alternatives.
• The world is running out of oil, and most countries have to import it.
