I believe you are asking why renewable resources are a solution to our fossil fuel problem?

First, we need to define these problems. Since fossil fuels are not unlimited sources of fuel (non-renewable) we will eventually use all the commercially recoverable fossil fuels. As the supply becomes scarce, the price will go up.

Second, burning fossil fuels cause pollution, which includes air contaminents that are can be unsafe to breath (carbon monoxide in particular), acid rain and global warming.

I would say that renewable resources are part of the solution. However, experts warn that non-polluting sources of energy, such as wind power and hydroelectric, can not provide for all our energy needs. Finding ways to conserve energy, such as using energy efficient appliances, particularly air conditioning, also helps.
