Why Renewable Energy

Heat pumps and renewables offer a proven, money-saving alternative to expensive fuel-guzzling boilers and electricity bought from the grid. A heat pump will provide up to 100% of the heating and hot water we’re used to, for as little as 30% of the price. Add in underfloor heating and solar systems, and it’s easy to save even more money.

Here are the top ten reasons that explain why in our homes and businesses we should use more renewable energy instead of the fossil fuels.

1. It Helps Our Environment

Our planet is simply speaking one big environmental mess, with climate change threatening to go out of the control. By using more renewable energy we wouldn't need to burn enormous amounts of fossil fuels, and this would decrease the level of carbon emissions that cause climate change. Our air would be much cleaner too.

2. New Green Jobs

The financial crisis of 2009 is still heavily felt in many parts of the world, and strong development of renewable energy sector is connected with many new well paid jobs which can give huge boost to economy in this post-recession period.

3. Reduced Dependence on Foreign Oil

Using more domestically available renewable energy also means reduced need for foreign oil import. The less oil we import the more money stays within our borders.

4. Diversified Energy Portfolio

Renewable energy gives several different options to choose from. Some countries should favor solar energy, other biomass, other wind energy, other geothermal energy, etc. So many different renewable energy options help diversify energy portfolio which improves country's energy independence.

5. Global Clean Energy Race

The global clean energy race is on, and the countries that will lead the way will surely benefit from it. Take China's example, more than one million renewable energy jobs, and world's largest solar panel as well as wind turbine manufacturer.

6. Energy Security

Having different energy options is much better for energy security than just relying on fossil fuels to satisfy our energy needs.

7. Almost Unlimited Potential

Fossil fuels are finite resources and they will eventually become depleted unlike renewable energy sources that will be available as long our planet continues to exist.

8. Technological and Scientific Progress

Renewable energy research does wonders for overall technological and scientific progress by developing different promising technologies that could be used by many different industries.

9. Development of Rural Areas

In many rural areas using renewable energy is much better option to satisfy energy needs compared to traditional energy solutions, and renewable energy can be a strong factor in developing these areas.

10. Connecting Countries

By sharing the knowledge, experience and technologies about renewable energy countries would become more closely connected, by for instance working together on different renewable energy projects. Renewable energy can help improve political ties between countries.
