I think that if in the near future we evolve our technology it could be water. Water is recycled repeatedly and Solar is expensive, wind power is just not good and plants are used for eating not as an energy source. I think if we could use water from our oceans, hydro power would be more reliable and easy. - KATEY

I think that we would use water power. Water is able to be recycled and is cheaper than solar and wind. It is also accessible and probably gives consistent energy. - purva

I think wind because it is a clean useful energy source... It does not have any substance of liquid used. The wind has the power to help things move, plants also need to use the wind to create seeds so then plants can grow. The wind is an unlimited, free renewable energy source! -Jensen

This is because hydroelectric power will always work anywhere there is flowing water as long as the water cycle is being fueled by the sun. Solar power and wind power are both very expensive. Solar power can also only work in some places and only at certain times of the year. Solar power is also very hard to maintain. If we stop using plants for power we might be able to solve food problems in other countries by selling leftover crops instead of turning them into fuel. Wind power is not very reliable and cannot produce power on demand.

I believe that solar power can be used with solar panels in the future since there might be a lot of technology, but the energy made can also overheat and may cause fires where the energy is flowing to.

In the near future I think water will be most beneficial because for a long time we will never run out, it is recycled, and it is not as expensive as solar power. It would be a risk because it would have a bad environmental impact.

I think solar power can be very beneficial because it doesn't let out harmful gasses like fossil fuels, greenhouse gasses, and more. But it would be expensive. But, the air can be MUCH cleaner and healthier -Reetu

I believe that nuclear power is going to be the best source of power in the near future because of all the great stuff about it. First of all, there is already many nuclear power plants, meaning that it would be easier to switch over to nuclear power. Second of all, there produce almost as much power as current fossil fuels, and it's pretty renewable. Lastly, nuclear power is reliable. The energy isn't going to cut out randomly due to no sun or wind. The cons though, are that it is obviously dangerous, with radioactive waste, and can effect the environment. Also, the initial factory takes a  lot of money to build, and a long time. I hope you listen to this and realize this is realistically the best option for the future.

I picked Solar power because it has minimal effects on the environment including things like not producing air pollutants. Solar power is already evolving, like solar power tiles for roofs! By using solar power we keep the environment cleaner -Hadley

# data[].attributes.body
In time things will be made that require lots of energy so if we do water power over the many sources of water we could make much more energy. There is Niagra falls with so many gallons of water flowing that if we made a station there it could provide so much energy with no air pollution. Water can be recycled so it can be used over and over without running out. But all renewable sources can harm the environment in the making of an air source the ground will be dug up, depleting the soil if a tree was on the spot removing it. Water sources harm animal life, it might stop a fish from going downstream and mating.

I think that solar power is a great way to stop hurting the environment. If we were to make this kind of power an everyday thing, we would need to figure out how to make solar panels a portable and everyday object. We would need to figure out a way to use solar panels even in the winter, and even when you are parked in the garage.- Noah

In the future I believe that we will use wind power to power our homes. I believe this because wind farms are the least damaging to the environment. Unlike hydropower it doesn't block anything. It is also very cheap to install. Plus it doesn't take a lot of land to make a lot of power, it just takes wind!! The biggest bonus with our economy, is that wind farms are creating jobs for more and more people. The get to work in a clean space and help save our Earth by making clean energy!!

I think that i will be water power. I believe this because water is something we can basically reuse and do reuse over and over again. One of the flaws though is droughts yes they don't happen everywhere but people who experience them might have to pay more.

# data[].attributes.body
I think water power is best because we can use it over and over again and its less expensive. Sometimes though different place might have more/less water so the prices could go up or down and have less water for other things.

I think that in the near future that Solar Energy will be beneficial because if people have solar panels, the suns ray of energy will shine down on the solar panels and the panels will collect the energy from the ray of energy and use it for electricity. Though the solar panels might be expensive, it will be for a good cause. By not polluting the air.

I think wind would be the best in the future because we have so much of it. On top of that, it doesn't harm anything and it is a great energy source. - Saad

Wind Energy would be the most beneficial because it is powered only by the wind. Windmills rarely catch on fire and are almost always safe to the environment, at the same time it gives us plenty of energy. And Wind is infinite so we get energy from the wind.

Water power is reusable and we really can't run out of it. Other reusable energy sources are costly. Solar power isn't reliable and non reusable energy is polluting earth so water is the best. -Jack

I think water power is mostly the best because we can use it again and again. also it is less expensive, but sometimes places have a lot of water and other places don't. you can recycle water to and if you have a lot of water the price will probably go down and if you don't have a lot it will probably go up. -JJ

I think solar power would be the most beneficial and useful in the future because of solar panels. Solar panels can use the energy from the sun and reuse it for other purposes. Solar energy might be expensive, but it would be very useful to Earth. Others might say that hydropower would be better, and I agree but hydropower depends on the water cycle, which means that solar power can actually power the water cycle. You need solar power (the Sun) to make the water cycle run. How else would the water evaporate? Solar power is reliable and it's the most beneficial because it can also help other renewable energy sources. -Ava Zhao

# data[].attributes.body
In the short term usage, I think Fossil Fuels will be best. We are still developing our clean energy options. Some types of clean energy aren't as efficient as coal or other non-renewable options. One of the risks is that the atmosphere will be polluted. An additional risk is that we would be draining the amount of fossil fuels that we have left.

I think that solar power will be the most beneficial in the near future. Solar power is produced by the Sun, so it won't run out. Solar radiation has been used for years for many different things. Now, technology has been invented that can turn solar energy into electricity. Solar energy is already used to heat water, buildings, and more. Solar photovoltaic devices are used to convert sunlight directly into electricity which can be used on something as small as a watch to something as large as a house. Some reasons why I chose solar energy is because solar energy does not create air pollutants or carbon dioxide. Another benefit is that solar energy systems on buildings don't affect the environment as much as other energy sources. Even though there are good benefits, there are some limitations as well. One of the limitations is that the amount of sunlight isn't consistent. The amount of sunlight varies due to location, weather, time, and seasons. Additionally, sunlight produces a small amount of energy, so more land would be required to collect useful amounts of energy.

I think solar power will because the solar panels reflect sunlight from the sun to create energy, and it does not create air pollution and it heats up the earth, but the energy produced is inconsistent. - Emma

I think wind because it is the most clean and doesn't have any bad stuff in it. Since there is already a lot of wind i think there will just become more of it. Also it does not take that much money to install. - Holden

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in the future we should use hydro power because it it will not run out for a long time and it is not very expensive compared to other energy sources. Also, it is easily accessible and it will probably give a constant amount of energy. Finally, hydro power does not pollute the air or environment.

I think over time hydropower could easily become the most useful. First, solar power is only useful during the day. My second reason is nuclear power could easily cause death, destruction, and chaos. Definitely not fossil fuels because of C02 emissions, and wind power is not consistent. Even the tiniest bit of speed in water would generate some power(Even your faucet. Think about that for a second😂). Plus we could easily harness the ocean waves to generate lots of power.  Even if it's not perfect, it could power many things in the future. Finally, unlike biomass which wastes grains or other crops, modern hydropower machines not only don't waste water, but desalinate water so humans, plants, and animals can drink(and recycles salty water within the machine so it can keep running without new salty water for a while.).  -Mehul

# data[].attributes.body
I think solar power would be the best because it's very clean and the Sun will shine on Earth for billions of years. Solar power is a good energy source, it's very expensive though. I don't think wind energy would be good because wind turbines can kill birds and bats and it's usually even more expensive than solar power. I also think water energy is good too but water isn't everywhere on land so it would be hard to get water energy in some places. Biomass would be okay too but to get energy from plants, you first have to grow the plants. This is why I think solar power will be the best in the future.

-Katie

# data[].attributes.body
I think hydro power will be the most beneficial for the future because the water currents in a river won't stop until it dries up, which will take a long time so we can use hydropower for a long time in the future. Also, there won't be many changes in the current. Therefore, the energy coming from hydro power will be more consistent than other natural energy sources. Some risks are that, it probably will not provide for worldwide energy use because of the power of the currents. Finally, it does not release greenhouse gasses or fossil fuels.

I think hydroelectric is going to be most beneficial in the near future because it does not take as much money to make as the other sources and will run for quite a while. Another reason is that water will be running from the lake/river for a while, making power constantly
-Blake Waring

# data[].attributes.body
The best renewable energy source in the near future is wind. This is because hydropower causes more money to get it uphill into the hydropower plant, than the process. Additionally, solar power is way too expensive, and the steps to make the panels are way too long. Solar power is also too inconsistent.  The land and materials to make biomass could be used for crops. Because of overpopulation, every inch of farmland should be used. This is especially true when we can get all of our energy using wind turbines.

I think hydro power will be most beneficial because we have more water then land so it should be enough to power everything everywhere.

I wondered if wind power would be the best. I mean, it obviously isn't cost-efficient as of now. However, looking into the long term, wind power would be one of the top energy sources in the future. It is worthwhile to notice that around 8.4% of the total utility-scale energy in the U.S. is being produced by wind turbines. Electricity generation from wind power has increased from about 6 billion kilowatt-hours to over 337 billion kilowatt-hours in the span of 20 years (2000 - 2020). That's an increase of around 16.55B each year. The fact is that the cost of wind power is also being lowered as more and more countries participate.

Wind power is infinite as long as the Earth is alive. It is easily accessible since much of the world has some form of wind. It can even be built on pre-existing lands, such as ranches and farms. This would reduce the amount of wilderness that was taken down for energy-producing factories and buildings. Wind energy is clean, as there is no sort of liquid or chemical exchange happening during the process. It creates no pollution. Building wind turbines is less damaging to the environment than coal mines would have. They aren't created using many chemical components that would be bad for the environment if let out, such as solar panels. Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells, which are valuable resources that would go to waste if thrown into landfills after the solar panels broke down. They (solar panels) contain things like lead. Those things can be toxic to the environment if they were to be put into a landfill. Wind turbines are easy to maintain and to take down if necessary. Other forms might not be.

There's the possibility that if we were to use wind energy more efficiently, whether it be by creating better machines, using less electricity altogether, or creating more ways to use wind energy plus other forms of energy as a combination, we'd have a never-ending source.

I believe that wind energy is best, but it would be most convenient to not rely on just one, but multiple forms of clean energy sources. This is so that if we were to ever (for any reason) have problems with wind energy, there'd be backups.

I think water power is mostly the best because we can use it over and over, but it doesn't cost as much. Some places have a lot of water and others dont. If there is a lot of water the price will probably be low unlike if there is not a lot of water- katelynn

I think that in the near future the best energy source will be wind. First of all wind turbines do not cause air pollution which is really good for the environment. Using wind as an energy source will reduce the amount of electricity we are generating from things like fossil fuels which are harmful to the environment. Solar Power can only work at certain times but wind power is almost always there it is also one of the reasons why wind power is so reliable. Wind power is also one of the cleanest energy sources.  If you look at the growth in the use of wind power it will shock you because in 1990 the amount of electricity generated from wind was 1% but in 2020 it was 8.4%. It might not seem like a not lot but that was just in the US. China was so positive about wind power that has invested so much in wind power that it has the world's largest wind electricity generator. These are just some of the reasons why wind power is so reliable. 16 countries generated about 3.6 billion kWh of electricity from wind in 1990 but in 2010 105 countries generated nearly 340 billion kWh. This shows not just how many countries used electricity generated from the wind but the amount of electricity generated from the wind. In the gap of twenty years from 1990 to 2010, we had a growth of 336.4 billion in generating electricity from wind. Wind power is clean and reliable which is why it should be the best energy source in the near future.

i think that in the future wind will help use the most. we already have so many wind turbines and other ways to collect energy from wind that think of how much we will have in 200 years. there is also so much wind that all that wind can make us a lot of energy that will help us in our future. -jake s
