[APRIL, 2023 FREE REPORT] Better Transition Ways to Clean Energy
by Prince Foley \| 18-04-2023 19:36 1
We cut down forests to install photovoltaic panels.😨 There are better ways to make our transition, out of fossil fuels. ⚡We've all seen those 𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 in our countryside. They are installed on previous forests or former farmland. Yes, the very technology we are using to fight climate change is taking away natural land. Precious forests are being cleared for solar panels. Entire ecosystems and wildlife habitats are being disrupted. But there is a better solution: "Artificial use". 🅿️We can use existing artificial surfaces, such as 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀, to install solar panels. According to a recent report from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, rooftop solar alone could provide 40% of US electricity needs. And imagine if all parking lots were covered with solar panels. A cool place to park your car and a direct source of local energy! By choosing to 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀, we can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels without further harming our planet. Let's be conscious of our impact on the environment and act responsibly for a sustainable future.🌎 *References*: https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/solar-rooftop-potential https://www.ecowatch.com/big-box-stores-solar-farms.html

Hello Prince! This is your mentor Yewon.
I apologize for the late comment.

You have written an interesting report about renewable energy!
Renewable energy is often mentioned as a perfect alternative to fossil fuels, but I think we should admit that there are still some limitations to replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy!
The point you made in your report is also very important, and I think we should think again about that!

Thank you for your meaningful report! Great job!

Hello Prince! This is your mentor James.

I think you've acutely pointed out a very important topic! Is renewable energy really environmentally friendly?

The answer depends on how and where you construct the power plant indeed. As you've mentioned, using building surfaces and reclaimed land to set up these energy sources would be less detrimental to the environment!

Thanks again for this lovely writing!
