Sustainable Renewable Energy In The United States

Looking over the United States use of energy, there have been millions and millions of dollars spent on energy. Energy is needed to provide the basic needs such as: food, production, transportation, housing manufacturing, construction, and many other things. We depend on so many things, especially in the U.S. Our biggest energy source are the fossil fuels and we are no longer limiting the amounts of how much we use up. I would say we have reached a certain peak in which we have used up all of our fossil fuel resources that the supply is decreasing. As long as supply keeps decreasing, and demand rising, there will be a major shift prices increasing drastically. We’ve consumed too much oil that we are running out of it. In order to preserve the amounts we have left, I strongly encourage the Congress of the United States to promote more eco-friendly techniques and policies involving sustainable renewable energy. The U.S. needs to shift more towards renewable energy.
It is very important that we first identify where the highest energy potentials are located in order to extract the right amount and have proper placement. One of the most common …show more content…
Sure, it may cost a lot now to set up, but hopefully, within a few years, new technology will help make more affordable solar panels. The highest energy potential in solar energy is located on the SouthWestern part of the U.S. These states include Arizona, New Mexico, California, Nevada and Utah. Up to this point, according to the NRDC, solar facilities have been properly placed. However, there are some on Ohio and Illinois that won’t necessarily get much desirable solar energy. Instead, more efforts to create Solar projects should be emphasized in Nevada, Utah and Colorado. These states need to really take advantage of the fact that they have really high solar energy potentials. Texas and New Mexico should also follow in the same
