NOTE

Choose Renewables for a Sustainable Future

Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is crucial for combating climate change, given that fossil fuels are unsustainable and have a significant environmental impact. Renewables, despite their initial costs and resource requirements, have the potential for efficiency improvements and cost reductions over time. The need for extensive materials for technologies like electric vehicles (EVs) highlights a critical comparison: while EV batteries require around 200 kilograms of material, they create lasting value and can be recycled, unlike the one-time use of 20,000 liters of gasoline, which emits substantial CO2. Ultimately, the shift towards renewables not only aligns with climate goals but also promises a more sustainable and recyclable future.
