What are the benefits of using renewable energy sources?
user
The benefits of using renewable energy sources include improved environmental quality, greater energy security and independence, job growth and stability in the renewable energy industry, cost savings over time compared to traditional forms of energy production, improved health outcomes associated with reduced air pollution, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy is also widely seen as a step towards addressing climate change.

What are the benefits of using renewable energy sources?

Renewable energy sources have many potential benefits, including:
- Cost-effective and environmentally friendly – these types of energy sources can provide a reliable and affordable source of energy production with reduced harm to the environment. 
- Reduce our dependence on traditional fossil fuels – by increasing renewables, it decreases our dependence on traditional fossil fuels like coal and natural gas, both for electricity production as well as for vehicle fuel.  
- Sustainable resource development – since the development of renewable resources uses less land than developing nonrenewables, they are a more sustainable way to produce energy resources. 
- Help protect air and water quality – using renewals keeps industrial pollution from occurring in our communities from burning coal or drilling wells to access oil and other non-renewabilities.   This can help reduce the acid rain produced by burning fuel sources, reducing emissions that are responsible for smog formation and carbon monoxide levels found in our atmosphere.
