  • Earth's energy reserves are finite.
  • Fossil fuels were created over huge periods of time.
  • We are consuming energy resources at an unprecedented rate - and demand is rising all over the world.
  • The Sun's energy is almost infinite.
  • We could make more use of energy sources that are renewable - solar, wind, water, wave, tidal and geothermal. By doing so we could make dramatic savings in costs, as well as reducing pollution. Acid rain and global warming would both be reduced.
