POWERING OUR PLANET

Look around your house. Are the lights on? Is your television playing? Is a cell phone charging? We use energy every day to power our world. Most of the energy we use now comes from fossil fuels. For our future, however, we look toward renewable energy.

Essential Question

Why is it important to find and use renewable energy sources in place of fossil fuels?

Renewable energy sources are ones that do not pollute our air or water and that will never get used up. With new scientific discoveries being made every day and new technology being created from what we learn, we can use these renewable energy sources to produce more clean energy and end our reliance on fossil fuels.
