It will not do a significant amount of damage if the transition were to be slow. The economy could easily recover if it is done over a period of time rather than doing it instantly in which case, the chances of the economy being damaged is high since lots of workers would be laid off at once and the initial cost to fully transition to renewable energy sources will be extremely high. But, when workers are laid off from the non-renewable energy field slowly, they have chances to find more job opportunities because job searches won’t be as crowded as they would be if every worker in the field was laid off at once which would harm the economy greatly.
How long might it take to fully transition to renewable energy sources worldwide?]]> 2021-03-18 17:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1326725083 s300093531 https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1326888011 - total phantom electricity  might take 200 to 300 watts (or even more), which could cost you upwards of $25 to $30 per month on your electric bill. Meaning, in a year you spend 300-360$ per year due to phantom power.
- According to Energy Saving Trust research, between 9-16% of the electricity consumed in homes is used to power appliances when they are in this standby mode.
-According to Cornell University and The Daily Green, phantom load can cost the average home $200 per year.

Well phantom power is when you leave a phone charger or a TV plugged in When you are not using it.

- According to this website, Phantom power is 5-10% percent of your annual electricity bill.

-Meaning if your annual  electricity bill is $1560, Phantom power would cost about $150.

Oil is much more profitable than renewable energy sources including solar and wind energy. Canada has great connections with the US and we are able to sell our natural resources & oil to them at a discount because it's in high demand.  Producing fossil fuels is much cheaper and economically safer with Canada's richness of natural resources.  Another risk of renewable sources is that they still rely on resources such as lithium, steel, and silicon which leave a carbon footprint as well as creating problems with supply. Creating renewable energy technology still requires non-renewables like lithium and silicons.

In ten years so as early as 2030- The remaining 15% to 20% would take another 20 years if everything goes right and has consistent improvement.
How long will it take to replace fossil fuels? Some say it could happen relatively quickly. Andrew Blakers and Matthew Stocks from Australian National University believe the world is on track to reach 100% renewable energy by 2032. Their research shows solar and wind energy is growing fast enough to surpass coal by the mid-2020s.]]> 2021-03-18 18:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1327006959 s300093531 https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1327044706 The IRENA reported that in 2017 they found that solar and onshore wind are the cheapest energy sources, reporting that in 2017 wind turbine prices had an average cost of $0.06 per kWh, and some of the schemes were $0.04 per kWh. Another advantage is that,  the most efficient forms are renewable energy: hydro-thermal, tidal, wind, and solar. Solar energy has been proven to be the most efficient and effective among renewable energy sources for home and commercial use But why is solar energy the most efficient and effective?
The more efficient the photovoltaic solar panel, the more energy output it will have per amount of light energy hitting the cell, which will in turn take up less surface area to meet your energy requirements. Solar energy never runs out because the sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world's energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won't run out anytime soon. As a renewable energy source, the only limitation of solar power is our ability to turn it into electricity in an efficient and cost-effective way. A report suggests that renewable energy will be cheaper than fossil fuels by 2020. A new report predicts the cost of renewable energy will drop significantly by 2020, making it less expensive than fossil fuels. Last year, solar and wind power accounted for nearly 95% of new energy in the US.
How much will solar energy cost you?
On average, it costs around $13,142 to install a solar system. Solar panels increase property values while lowering utility bills. Compared to gas or electric heating systems, solar panels save you much more in the long-run. Your solar panel system can pay for itself in three years!]]> 2021-03-18 18:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1327044706 s300004573 https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1327074887 - What is Renewable energy source? A renewable energy source is natural processes that recharge all the time.

Canada's economy would be hurt in the short term because we rely on fossil fuels (Alberta Oil and gas industry). However, if we can innovate and create alternative energy technology, we can replace that lost revenue. Also, the costs of cleaning up the environmental damage from fossil fuels will be less and in the long-term the economic impact will be positive. ]]> 2021-03-18 19:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1327272277 s201080967 https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1327379181 The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Cars create carbon emissions in a number of ways. From extracting the oil, to transporting it and then driving your car. The reduction of greenhouse emissions would be significant. However, all electric car batteries are powered with lithium ion which is very harmful to the environment. Mining for lithium to support everyone's cars is just as bad as fracking is environmentally. Lithium mining harms the soil and causes air contamination, and water pollution. Lithium is a limited resource and if everybody drove electric cars, the carbon footprint of lithium mining would be significant. Additionally, the cost of lithium might become a problem where it prevents people in developing nations afford electric cars.

Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished. For example, sunlight or wind keep shining and blowing, even if their availability depends on time and weather.

Non- renewable energy
A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a quick enough pace to keep up with consumption. An example is carbon-based fossil fuel. The original organic matter, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas. ]]> 2021-03-22 02:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1335932395 s300093531 https://padlet.com/s300093531/8pstvvqi7tal5o8v/wish/1335936783 Benjamin Franklin conducted early experiments with lightning and electricity.
