Discussion Question 2:
Post your description and responses in the main forum under the DQ 2 thread.
Due day 4.
Post your response to the following: Discuss a nonrenewable resource that you think
will have the most significant effect to our lives if it is depleted. Explain your choice. Are there
current efforts to conserve it? Provide an example of a person, place, or thing that utilizes a
renewable resource
Answer:
I believe the fossil fuels will cause great impact if a time is reached that such energy
resource is depleted. These fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. These fossil
fuels are formed naturally but take a very long time in a matter of millions of years.
Unfortunately, these sources of energy cannot be replaced as fast as they are consumed. Since the
10th century, humans had been progressively dependent on non-renewable energy mainly the
fossil fuels. Studies estimated that the recent yearly fossil fuels consumption uses the amount
produced fuels in more than 400 years. For the meantime, energy conservation programs are
implemented aimed at slowing down the use of fossil fuels. Aside from fear of bringing it into
depletion, slowing down the unwanted effects of the burning of fossil fuels is among the top
reason of shifting off fossil fuels use. Currently renewable energy is used in private homes, in
community service projects, in the farm, and in some companies. Its popularity is increasing and
is now greatly used in Europe. Solar power has been used to provide energy for heating and
lighting purposes, hydropower plants had been devised and is the source of electricity to many
communities in some countries, windmills has been used popularly to generate energy for
multiple machineries to do physical work like crushing grain or pumping water, and the
extraction of ethanol from biomass has been a good source of energy.
