Renewable energy will cost more money in the future than the government is currently spending. According to the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory),”Cycling gas and coal plants would add about $35 million to $157 million per year in operating and maintenance expenses”(“Renewable Energy Study Shows That Benefits Outweigh Costs In U.S.”). By spending money to produce renewable energy now, we can save even more energy in the long run. Even though renewable energy has proven to be more expensive than our current situation, it will save the U.S a very substantial amount of money. Also, the cost of renewable energy is currently one of the cheapest options we have. In the article “Renewables Now Cheapest, But How To Enable Faster Renewable Energy Growth?” the author states, “Renewable energy is now the cheapest option, on average, for new electricity capacity around the world — in developed countries like the US as well as developing countries like India, China, Nigeria, and Mexico(Shahan).Spending money to set up and make renewable energy will save us more money in the long run while also making this world a safer place.Even with renewable energy making up less than 20% of total energy use, we have already seen positive results that could give us a new perspective on our environment.

Improvements to our environment have been seen such as decreases in pollution and an increase in money .Also, developed countries are being able to save more money due to the fact that renewable resources never run out. In the article “Have We Already Won The Renewables Revolution”, the articles states that, “improving energy efficiency saves developed countries $540 billion each year”(The International Energy Agency). Some people may argue that money could be the best improvement with adopting renewable energy and with renewable energy getting more popular, we can expect to save even more money. In the past decade, the production of renewable energy has skyrocketed. The Union Of Concerned Scientist state that, “the U.S. can generate most of its electricity from renewable energy by 2050(NREL). This really impacts how people think about the world because of how close we are to making this world healthy. The United States will be taking the first steps to making our environment healthier than it currently is. Also, now that more energy is being produced, more jobs will be made and become available to people.

With renewable energy on the rise, more jobs will be made so that we can support and provide for our environment. In the article”Renewable Energy Is Creating Jobs 12 Times Faster Than the Rest of the Economy",it states that, “The solar and wind industries are each creating jobs at a rate 12 times faster than that of the rest of the U.S. economy, according to a new report”(Kate Samuelson). The renewable energy sector has seen rapid growth over recent years, driven largely by significant reductions in manufacturing and installation costs. Also, while new jobs are becoming available, a decrease in non renewable resources support has also been taking place. In the article “How Many Jobs Does Clean Energy Create”it states that,”From 2014 to 2015 solar employment increased by 6 percent while employment in upstream oil and gas and support services dropped by 18 percent”(Greg Kats). This piece of information is critical because statistics are showing that this is really happening and sooner than believed, renewable energy could take over such things as oil and gas. Even with this newly acquired evidence, humans can still be blamed for some parts of global emission.
