Best alternate to non-renewables.

When energy is coming from the sun then why are we digging the earth!

Solar energy is the best replacement to energy from fossil fuels. Why? Because it comes from a renewable source; the sun, which is obviously not going to finish.

While on the other hand are fossil fuels which are deteriorating the nature not only by emitting harmful gases when combusted but also because they are on the verge of getting extinct!

With being abundant, energy from the sun is no less then any other alternatives. Studies show how mighty it is in energy generation capacity too. Infact some experts believe that the earth can fully wean itself from fossil-fuel generated electrical production.

Final thoughts:

World’s hunger for energy is growing rapidly. Today, slightly less than 0.1% of solar energy is being used globally. This certainly has to increase so that in the future we will have more money saved and a healthier environment to live in.
