Renewable energy Nowadays, renewable energy is a hotly debated topic among our society, due to its importance for protecting the planet. Despite the fact that there are different alternatives, I will discuss two approaches that should be taken into consideration. Needless to say, both of them are really beneficial, but there is a need to clarify which one is more relevant. On the one hand, solar panels are known to be useful to receive UV waves and absorb energy which is going to be used later on. Some people argue that we cannot use it as an utter energy resource because we do not have solar light the whole day. However, solar panels generate a high range of energy and it is beneficial for the environment. On the other hand, nuclear power, a sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions, not only is expensive because building nuclear plants requires a lot of our economy but also dangerous because of its invisibility. Why invest money in a dangerous, unsustainable form of energy when we can have clean, renewable energy for less? To sum up, despite the fact that nuclear power can provide a lot of energy continuously I consider that is not safe enough and it will not be the best form of renewable energy for a tourist island. Nuclear energy has no place in a safe, clean, sustainable future. Thus, renewable energy is better for the environment, the economy, and doesn’t come with the risk of a nuclear meltdown.
