Fossil Fuels are running out and causing too many carbon emissions; these emissions continuously hurt the environment and are speeding up the process of climate change. It is time to make the gradual transmission to clean alternative energy.
Tunisia and the world have been mainly using oil for its source of energy but the oil stock pile is running out. Until we find out a way to reach the oil deep that is currently unreachable we will be completely out of the world’s main source of fuel and energy, the world needs a backup plan! Also what about those carbon emissions, aren’t those destroying the ozone layer? It is time to implement a system that will slowly transform this world into an eco-friendly Planet with sustainable energy.
Tunisia has thought of several solutions that if were put into effect will truly make a difference towards saving this planet and allowing the restoring of fossil fuels; Tunisia doesn’t want to totally end the production of energy through oil but wants to give the planet a break and allow fossil fuels to regenerate. First, countries need to start funding renewable energy even more; renewable energy will lack the amount of energy needed to sustain a country at first but that is why we will use fossil fuels to make up the rest of the energy until there is enough sustainable energy to keep countries running. Once every country is converted to renewable energy only then can we start to let the earth recreate more fossil fuels. If technical difficulties were to occur and a country does not get the energy needed then that country may use remaining fossil fuels as a backup. For countries that border water, water turbines would be the main clean energy source or if a country is mainly dessert one would have a lot of solar panels. A person might ask what do we do when there is no sun; well by this stage we are talking about so many solar panels that it will have enough built up energy that you will not run out, and if you do that is what the built fossil fuel is for. Another person might ask what if a poorer country cannot afford said plan; this is a global problem and to stop other countries would be willing to help financially.
This problem with carbon emissions and running out of fossil fuel has come too far. With the plan Tunisia has offered we believe we can start to cut down on environmental damage and regenerate fossil fuel for an more clean world for all of it inhabitants.
