  • A clean source of energy is important because it will provide all the benefits of an energy source without any of the disadvantages. When President Obama gave talks to MIT, he planned for a "comprehensive" energy-and-climate bill that would help look for clean energy, later adding "but there is no question that we have to do these things."

    Environment

    Clean energy will reduce or eliminate pollutants that can dirty the air, water or land. As long as the environment directly affects our health, clean energy will always be a concern.

    Animals and Plants

    When the environment is damaged, ecosystems can suffer, which may destroy animal and plant populations. We depend on animals and plants for food, just as they depend on the environment for food.

    Health

    Breathing polluted air or drinking polluted water can kill us, or damage our health over time. Health problems such as mercury poisoning and lung cancer are consequences of pollution.

    Future Impact

    If we continue to destroy the environment with pollution, large areas may become uninhabitable. This means less living space for a rapidly growing human population.

    Global

    The whole world would benefit from a clean source of energy, not just a few countries. Because we all live on the same planet, we all share the disadvantage of environmental pollution.
