Pros of Renewable Energy

Reasons for Subsidies...

• Provide more "green" jobs

“The United States is the fastest growing market for solar energy in the world today. In fact, solar is the fastest growing industry in the United States. In the last year we've grown by more than 70 percent” (Goodwyn).

- Roan Resch, chief executive officer of the Solar Energy Industries Association

• Prevent fossil fuel monopolization
• Prevent depletion of resources
• Increase competition between renewable energy companies and fossil fuel companies
• Reduce pollution/diseases
• Increase private companies' confidence in investing on renewable energy
• Become more energy efficient, advance technology
• Allowing consumers to have more access to renewable resources. Eg. Cheaper Pricing

Renewable energy can be applied anywhere, even in cities! Cities have had the stereotype of being not green because of intense concentration of industry but many cities today are integrating and even priding themselves on sustainable concepts like increased efficient public transport, public parks, farmers markets. Through increased community involvement the stereotype and stigmas behind city life are changing for the future generations. Let's lift up these emerging green initiatives by subsidizing them.
