I believe that renewable energy should be something we all strive towards. It is able to provide energy, without wasting any precious resources, and with minimal co2 output. I think this could be very beneficial, to not only Vancouver, but to larger polluters, such as China, and the USA.

I agree. I think a good example of renewable energy would be wind turbines. It results in no carbon emissions. Other countries such as Denmark have 40% of their power produced from wind and are set to be 100% wind powered by 2050. Based on this I think we are 100% capable of switching to 100% clean energy in the next 75 years.

This would be a great solution to countries that huge polluters, such as the U.S. and China. Instead of using fossil fuels, we could use water power, wind power, solar power, or make a biodegradable alternative made from algae. All of these alternative would make a difference in the amount of energy used and CO2 that is put in the atmosphere that these two countries could improve on.

Definitely, if governments as well would be able to implement changes such as less coal-burning factories and things that produce large amounts of carbon, and replace them with renewable energy sources such as solar, global warming effects would go down drastically. Additionally, the ocean will benefit, because the pH will begin to neutralize again and some species will be able to live in a better environment. Many places currently are experiencing these changes to renewable energy sources and at my home itself we are implementing solar panels and our own power grid to fuel our home.

I agree with you, If we reduce our use of pollutants such as the use of fossil fuels than we can make a dramatic positive impact on our environment. Choosing alternatives such as solar panels or wind farms with help to use our natural resources that are able to be replenished to our advantage without destroying our planet.

I agree because those resources (ex. oil and gas) are limited and we have to find a way to satisfy our needs in terms of electricity, for example. Also, driving cars which use electricity as a power source, instead of petrol which pollutes our ozone layer greatly.

I agree with your statement. Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass energy. These types of energy sources are different from fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

I fully agree with all your posts. In addition, I would like to say, that I’m convinced that today we already have the necessary knowledge and technology to produce enough clean energy in order to supply our current energy needs. Renewable energy like solar power, wind power, geothermal energy, hydroelectric power, has the potential to reduce pollution, slow global warming, create new industries and jobs, and move the world toward a cleaner, healthier energy future. The only problem is that we need time to switch from the use of fossil fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas into a full use of renewable energy. Unfortunately it is not so easy, first of all we have to boost the utilization of renewable energies through an adequate incentives and price policies, then we have to increase the education and the sensibility across all generations and last but not least all the Government around the world have to pursue the same goals about the use and development of renewable energies.

Renewable energy is a very good idea because we can stop damaging the atmosphere and the polluting the earth by keeping the waste from energy production out of the equation.

I agree that we should start using more renewable energy. Renewable energy is the best solution to help protect our environment. Fossil fuels which are our main sources of energy are bad for our environment and one day we will run out. This is why we should start using renewable energy. Also with renewable energy their are many different types from solar panels to geothermal energy. Renewable energy is a great step to a healthier environment.

Renewable energy should be something we all strive for. Natural resources will not last us forever. They are also releasing gases into our atmosphere. In this day and age, we have created ways to stop the use of natural gas and oils. The next step is to find a way for renewable energy to reach people. People in places they don't have the energy, to begin with. In the vast or near future you should be able to get your hands on renewable energy the size of a cell phone.

The future main renewable energy is probably the Hydrogen because you can find it anywhere and it's an amazing source of power. As soon as we will know how to stock it and reduce the risk of explosion, it will be possible to use it as the new way to produce electricity all around the world.
