Convert To Wind Energy In Illinois

As citizens of America, we are all aware of the ongoing crisis of limited energy sources, pollution, and the growing effects of global warming. The majority of our energy sources comes from the burning of fossil fuels, which are non-renewable resources.

Not only are we using up the resources that cannot be restored, but we are burning them which emits toxins into the air that we breathe. According to "Renewable Energy Is Beneficial for the Environment" by Science Clarified, "Today, human activities release about 433,000 metric tons of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere each year. Nearly 40 percent of the world’s nitrous oxide emissions come from burning fossil fuels. The atmosphere has a certain amount of nitrous oxide naturally, but too much nitrous oxide causes a depletion of the ozone layer."

To cut the amount of nitrous oxide emitted into the ozone layer and reduce the amount of pollution in America, Illinois should convert its energy sources to wind energy, which is a renewable energy source. Because wind energy is a type of renewable energy, it can be replenished daily.
