4. Low Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Almost all of the renewable energy plans emphasize that they have a
much lower carbon footprint that any of the fossil fuel options available. Renewable energy sources make
the environment healthier as they do not pollute it with Co2 and other toxic gases that are produced by
fossil fuels. Apart from that, they are not going to reduce our natural resources which can be conserved
for a long time.
5. Large Scale Job Creation: It is estimated that adoption of renewable energy technologies is going to
create large number of jobs worldwide. Renewable energy technologies are cheaper as they require less
maintenance in the long run. Renewable energy sources hold the future of this world as fossil fuels are not
going to last too long and are going to expire one day for sure. Switching to renewable energy sources can
help various countries to reduce their dependance on coal, oil and gas. Millions of jobs have already been
created in US and other European countries that have switched to renewable sources to lower their
carbon footprint.
6. Low Cost Operation: Once in place, most of the renewable energy types have a much lower overall cost
of operations than the fossil fuel methods require. This could balance out their higher cost of development
and implementation.
7. Micro-station options possible – From solar panels on homes to small wind farms, there are many
different types of renewable energy that can be used in remote areas – or even urban ones – with low cost
micro station options. This radically reduces the waste incurred in transporting energy from major stations
too.
