Opinion on fossil and clean fuel

Environmental disturbance is a shared social issue. Some argue that abolishing the use of non renewable sources of energy is a viable solution to overcome this problem. While others have pointed out the negative financial consequences of this approach. I believe that we need to strike a balance between the use of renewable and non renewable fuels. There is no doubt that the use of alternative sources of power is the future, however this sector is highly underdeveloped and relatively less accessible to the laymen. Energies like solar, wind, electricity, methane gases are not only recyclable but also pose no hazard to the public's health. Despite its benefits it is expensive to utilize these fuels in industries and on an individual scale as most people are not affluent enough to own a tesla. On the other hand, petroleum is cheaper more accessible and has an overall immediate benefit. Cars that use petrol are cheaper to buy and maintain. Moreover most of a countries infrastructure is directly related to the use and supply of fossil fuels. A blockade would only result in an increased likelihood of bankruptcy and socio-economic disturbance. No doubt the use of oil has severe health and environmental outcomes but its imminent benefits and reliability cannot be ignored. In conclusion, in order to utilize the long term benefits offered by cleaner fuels and the short term benefits offered by fossil fuels we must have a balanced approach which allows us to harmlessly transfer from non renewable to renewable source of energy.
