| Conventional Energies |
|
Conventional energies provide the convenience of large volumes of energy available whenever you want it – essentially a “pay-as-you-go” system. With conventional energies you are also at the mercy of big business and international markets who determine your pricing and availability. Conventional energies also come with the large price tag of greenhouse gases that are harming our environment. Until the true costs of carbon emission are factored into the prices we pay for our energies, we will continue to pay indirectly for carbon capture, increasing health costs, decreasing air quality and the irreversible losses of nature's riches. Renewable energies are a sustainable alternative to conventional energies and can offer you a way to take back control in the means and measure that you find suitable. They allow you to determine how much you pay, give you the security of knowing the energy will be there when you need it, and most importantly, allow you to reduce your impact on the environment and preserve it for future generations. |
