Alternative energy is a way to lower cost on energy that is used by everyone. Alternative energy ways such as wind mills, solar panels, hydroelectric, geothermal, biomass, and etc. Everything that these alternative energy sources make power off of don't cost anything like sun and rainfall. However when getting the fossil fuels you have to have expensive equipment to drill out the fuel and there would have to be people working to get the fossil fuels. With energy sources such as a windmill all you have to do is put up the wind mill and wait for it to start making electricity. Although wind mills and solar panels cost a lot of money when they are first starting to get used eventually it will save a lot of money for everyone and I think then people will have money to buy other things that they want to buy.
Using alternative energy sources would keep the environment better and still allow for people to get jobs from it because of the people that have to put up the windmills and the people that have to transport the materials to put things together, and the people that have to build and design the machines that can make the materials to come together to build the. I think that it will create even more jobs when they use more alternative energy sources. I also think that it would be better for the environment since some people are so worried about saving the planet but a lot of us arent that worried about it. There should be some fossil fuels still because it is a main supplier to some of the essential things that we use on a daily bases. However it would cost a lot of money to buy all of the equipment and ship it to where it needs to go it would be a good thing in the long run making money from just putting a machine outside and letting the wind, water, and etc do the rest of the work other than when the equipment needs to be repaired.
Fossil fuels can never completely go away in today's use. The alternative energys sources would decrease the price that people pay for the electrical bills and it would take less work and less maintance when using only these alternative sources. Water will never run out just like there will always be wind to power these machines and make the electricity that they are supposed to make. The machines would be a lot simpler than drilling for fossil fuels and also you can place windmills anywhere for the most part, however you can't drill anywhere for fossil fuels. You have to go of of land to get a lot of the fossil fuel that we use in todays world.
Do you think that alternative energy sources can replace fossil fuels?
Do you think that alternative energy sources are beneficial?

Good topic choice and good summary Hayden. Spread out your comments a bit more next time as most of your comments were done on one day. Did you use a source? If so, be sure to link to it.
For sure at one point alternative energy is going to replace fossil fuels. Actually thereis already some states that have gone green and don't seem to have many problem. Alternative energy s beneficial because it generates job and it is great for the enviroment and very needed.
I agree that it would be very helpful with keeping the environment a better place and that eventually some states might be able to use only alternative energy sources and that it would really make some people very helpful.
I think it is possible, but it won't happen for a while. Alternative energy sources are definitely beneficial in many ways. They are not harmful to the environment and they easily generate electricity. We need more technology and more people willing to support alternative energy in order for it to completely replace fossil fuels.
I don't think that alternative energy sources can completely replace fossil fuels, but I think that eventually they will need too. Fossil fuels are at a limited supply and eventually will run out at some point. However I do think alternative energy sources are very beneficial because they are cleaner ways to get energy and they are better for the environment
Maybe eventually but not in the near future because of what has happened in Texas. I think that they are beneficial, but we just need to make them more reliable before we change over to them completely in the future. Soon enough we will have renewable energy.
I think that alternative energy can replace fossil fuels but if something were to go wrong then most poeple would be out of power. that would cause trouble because power could be out in places where it is needed. it will also take a lot longer to produce. they can be beneficial if we can find a way to produce it quicker.
I do think that alternative energy sources can replace fossil fuels but if something were to go wrong with something within the solor panels we use or any other way to produce alternative energy then we would be in trouble because of the shortage of energy and power for homes/businesses. It also takes a lot longer to produce the alternative energy we would need for our homes and businesses. Alternative energy sources could be beneficial for sure.
I think alternative energy sources could eventually replace fossil fuels, but it will take a long time. My dad is a wind tech and works on wind turbines/windmills, and I know from his job that it is a good source of energy, but it takes time to get them running. We should continue to use and promote alternative energies to help the environment.
I think alternative energy can replace fossil fuels, but it would take a lot of time for that to happen. Alternative energy sources are beneficial to the environment, but fossil fuels are more efficient and we have used them for a long time. It would be hard to make that switch, especially for big companies and businesses.
