PART B_2

Renewable energy

The effects of climate change have become worse over the past years. Because of that, many scientists have been making an effort to solve the problem before it gets out of hand.

In most discussions about climate change, it is agreed that renewable energy is one of the main keys to control the worsening effects of rising temperatures since it does not produce gas that causes global warming. Hydropower and wind are two examples of renewable energy.

Hydropower has been the world’s biggest source of renewable energy. One of its examples is dams. Some studies say that it is a clean energy source filled up by rain and snow. However, there are still some negative effects to the environment and its surrounding communities. It could damage river ecosystems and displace many residents.

Wind as a source of energy began 7,000 years ago. Nowadays, a lot of countries use wind energy as their main source of electricity. To change the wind’s energy to electricity, they build tall posts that have sails or blades which are called windmills. Meanwhile, this could be dangerous for birds and bats. In fact, it kills hundreds of thousands each year.

Still, engineers and scientists are looking for the best possible ways to improve renewable energy resources without being harmful to people and the environment.
