CHECK THESE SAMPLES OF Use of Alternative Sources of Energy to Replace the US Dependency on Fossil Fuel
By raising awareness about the issues with nonrenewable, non-sustainable sources of energy, the Commission fueled and exposed the debate over the limited supply of fossil fuels and other justifications for the necessity of using alternative and renewable sources of energy.... Those supporting a rapid adoption of alternative and renewable sources of energy believe that the calculated dates for the peak of oil production are mostly immaterial (Elliott, 2003, 18)....

Not only will this way the pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels and oil be reduced, but this approach will also lead to the alternative methods of providing sources of energy to meet the global energy requirements, such as the use of energy for internal heating systems for homes, etc.... The use of alternative energy sources will also help the growing energy needs of developing countries.... The objective of the following literature review is to discuss the potential of renewable energy sources in comparison to oil and fossil fuel resources....

The paper "How Alternative Fuels Replacing Fossil Fuels" describes that the main sources of energy were fossil fuels with the use of petroleum amounting to a whopping 36%, natural gas 23% and coal at 27.... In as much as fossil fuel sympathizers argue that fossil fuels have been in place since time immemorial and that its combustion yields far greater energy per unit weight, the disadvantages of using fossil fuels both on the individual and the environment (long-term and short-term) far outweigh the benefits that have been advanced so far (Gross, 106)....

Assignment
Due to the increasing energy consumption in industrialized countries, it is imperative to identify alternative sources of energy to fossil fuels.... In the recent past, the disadvantages of these fossil fuels- such as price instability, eventual supply challenges, environmental damage, and uneven fossil fuel resource distribution- have led to an investigation on their use and pursuit of alternative sources of energy.... Therefore, putting into consideration the high level of dependence on fossil fuels in the world today, it may be challenging to find other sources of energy immediately after the fuels are depleted and thus, there is a need to substitute fossil fuels with other sources of energy such the renewable energy sources (sun, wind, water, plants, and Earth's heat) which can be used in a sustainable manner....

Literature review
It is important to keep in mind that alternative sources of energy are not the same as renewable sources of energy, as the latter includes sources of energy that cannot be depleted and can, therefore, be reused and the former includes all energy sources that are not derived from fossil fuels (Barreto, 2018).... They include renewable and nuclear sources of energy and are touted as being more environmentally friendly and more sustainable than fossil fuels.... This includes renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, or hydro energy and nuclear sources of energy, which come from elements such as uranium (Barreto, 2018)....
