Nowadays most green energy is becoming ever more prevalent in both developed and developing countries. Some argue they greatly reduce costs and are better for the environment, others believe they are a serious threat to energy security. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Sample Answer👉

The world today uses more renewable energy than ever before since it contributes to the preservation of the environment. While some believe that green energy could undermine the reliability of the global supply, I side with those who advocate the adoption of renewable sources of energy. On the one hand, it could be argued that renewable energy sources are quite an unpredictable and irregular.

Those who oppose green energy claim that many green energy technologies currently in use depend on changeable and unpredictable phenomena such as wind, rain and cloud cover, so the world might face disruptions to the power supply should they be fully adopted. To take the fastest growing sector as an example, solar panels can only be used in the presence of strong and direct sunlight. What is more, they also argue that in the fast-paced era using an entire dependence on such green energy can be time wasting, as it takes longer to generate energy than the usual non-renewable resources. 

However, I feel that fossil fuels are a larger threat to energy security since they are certainly finite in quantity, whereas renewable energy is effectively infinite; once the Earth’s oil is depleted, there will be no energy security without green energy technologies. Moreover, in my opinion, problems of unpredictability can be mitigated by improving battery technologies (to create a larger buffer), building more renewable energy generators (to increase supply during ideal conditions) and improving current technologies (to increase efficiency), such as in the moving solar panel example. 

To conclude, although many may believe that green energy technologies are a threat to energy security due to their less developed technical usage, the fossil fuels they frequently promote are a greater threat. Therefore, I strongly believe that renewables are in fact, the only sound option, both economically and environmentally. (301 words)
