FOSSIL FUEL IN CONTRAST WITH RENEWABLES IN ROMANIA
Abstract
Renewable-energy sources are considered to be the energy that is collected from sources that may be regenerated in a lifetime. The renewable-energy sources branch out in five types: wind power, hydropower, solar energy, geothermal energy and bio energy. However, in this paper, we are analyzing the water, solar and wind, since those three are the most exploited in Romania. Wind power refers to produce electric power, by mechanical powered generators when air flows through wind turbines. Alternatively, to fossil fuels, wind power is clean, without carbon dioxide emissions in operation, doesn?t consume water and it?s unlimited. Hydropower is a renewable source of energy that produces electricity from fast running water or falling water. A hydro station does not consume the water that it uses to generate electricity and the cost of hydroelectricity is relatively low. Solar energy is a meaningful source of renewable energy and it uses the radiant light and heat from the Sun to convert it into solar power. This is an inexhaustible and clean source of renewable-energy. The large weight of renewable sources of energy makes them highly captivating considering the sources are never ending and clean. Along with the previous idea, using renewable-energy sources to generate electricity brings huge long-term benefits, such as enhancing sustainability, lowering the expenses of fossil fuels, reducing air pollution and slowing down the global warming. In this paper we make a review of fossil fuel in contrast with renewables in Romania, over the last ten years.
