         <title>There is no fossil fuel alternative</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The reason there are no viable alternative or “clean” fuels that can replace fossil fuels is that fossil fuels are extraordinarily energy dense. In addition, it is easy to generate energy from fossil fuels and — more importantly — to capture the energy produced during fossil fuel combustion. And, it is equally simple to transport fossil fuels.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Can renewable energy sources replace fossil fuels?</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>According to renewable energy policy think tank REN21, most barriers to moving out of the fossil fuel age are political rather than practical. <br>Adherence to the commitments set out in the agreement will be a key factor in the move away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy. <br>Renewable technology costs are lower than ever, and digitalization can facilitate smoother integration of the power, heating, cooling and transport sectors.<br>According to the International Energy Agency, solar energy is one of the few technologies currently on track to meet <strong>global climate targets</strong>. It is not just the environment that stands to benefit, but economies, too: in the majority of countries, solar PV (<strong>photovoltaic systems</strong>), along with onshore wind, are the most inexpensive ways of introducing new electricity-generating plants.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

We cannot continue to use fossil fuels at the rate we do while waiting in hopes of an all-encompassing alternative.<br>2 text: <br>1. Renewable energy would not be able to replace fossil fuels<br>2. While many proponents of the transition have lauded this recent study, we should be much more skeptical given the unrealistic assumptions upon which the study is based, the massive costs excluded from the study, and the history of energy transition<br>3. Proponents of renewable energy have sought to demonstrate that economies can run solely on wind and solar at no significant cost to their citizens or economies<br>3 text: <br>1. By scaling up renewable energy, countries can sharply reduce one major source of the problem: energy-related CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.<br>2. Still, a number of estimates and studies indicate that a century is likely the minimum amount of time needed for a total overhaul of the energy system and a complete transition to renewables, even if significant progress is underway</div>]]></description>
