Planet Earth is now placed in many dire crises. Among them, environmental issues have become the most serious, as natural resources are heading towards their limits, and the consequences of environmental pollution are ice melting and elevation of sea levels.
Regarding these, people should concentrate on looking to develop clean energy resources to overcome the critical situation. The limitation of natural resources has made people look for clean energy. Natural resources have been depleted since mankind started to settle in certain places.
Due to the fact that there are restricted amounts of fossil fuel and the duration of people consuming them is very long, people are seeking renewable energy that can take over the role of fossil fuel.
The consumption of oil, which is constantly attracting the attention among people, shows that when we reach 2012, there will be a severe lack of fossil fuel and petroleum.
The shortage of resources will drive people to chaos, as most of manufacturers we rely on are produced by fossil fuel and coal. Thus, scientists are devoting themselves to the search for energy resources that can be recycled. The seriousness of environmental pollution is another reason people are investigating clean energy.
As people started to unearth and depend on fossil fuel and coal, the rate of carbon dioxide emissions increased and recently it has accelerated. Since CO2 and green house gases are being discharged excessively, the Earth is undergoing global warming.
“An Uncomfortable Truth” directed by Al Gore, told that when the extra amount of green house gases reach its peaks, several countries will sink including the Maldives.
Especially, Tuvalu was mentioned as a country that has the possibility of sinking completely within this century. Hence, the desire to avoid this tragedy among people, explains the reason why we need to focus on developing clean energy.
