In my blog, i will be talking about whether alternate energy can replace fossil fuels. A fossil fuel is an energy source made from the Earth's crust from decayed organic material. An example of these would be petroleum, coal, and natural gas. An alternate energy would be a source of energy that does not come from the splitting of atoms and sources that are not created by the burning of fossil fuels. Examples of these would be solar and geothermal energy, wind power, and hydroelectric energy. One of the benefits of using alternative energy is not only the fact that it will help save the earth and reduce pollution and global warming, it also will create jobs for people which will help the struggling economy. Some of the positives of using fossil fuels are unlike the uncontrollable wind and solar power, how much fossil fuels we use can be controlled until they are gone. This makes them a little bit more reliable. I think the best option for thes problem is too find and use a healthy balance between fossil fuels and alternative energies, therefore we can create jobs and we can save the earth as well. This relates too our class because we focused on the different departments in the government and i did a prezi on the Department of Energy. What do you think is a healthy solution to the problem of whether alternate energies should replace fossil fuels?
This shows an example of how were killing and taking from mother nature and using it while there are other sources out there.
This shows examples of good alternate energy sources to use instead of fossil fuels.
This is a video that explains what will happen after all the fossil fuels are used up.
