sustainable energy
Sustainable energy is an energy source that can be used permanently, does not emit greenhouse gases, and utilizes natural energy (sun and wind). Currently, fossil fuels such as oil and coal are the mainstream in Japan, and dependency on overseas energy and greenhouse gas emissions are issues.
Why sustainable energy is important
1) No greenhouse gas emissions
The biggest reason is that it does not emit greenhouse gases, which is important in preventing global warming.
2) No depletion of energy
The big advantage is that the energy source is inexhaustible. Fossil fuels will eventually run out, but renewable energy is inexhaustible.
3) Improving energy self-sufficiency
It is also important to improve energy self-sufficiency. Japan's energy self-sufficiency rate is low, and its dependency on energy from overseas is a problem.
The widespread adoption of renewable energy is a slow process, and it requires the commitment of individuals and businesses. The road to success will not be easy, but the transition to sustainable energy is a crucial step towards the future.
