Renewable energy as an alternative to the use of fossil fuels in the UK, was title of my project when I was study English pre-sessional program to prepare for MSc study.

The UK primary energy use
Everett (2012)
Fossil fuel sources:
- Coal
- Oil
- Natural gas

4. “Renewable energy (R E) ” An alternative energy

5. • R E costly to build
(Everett , 2012)
• Operating cost more economical
(Hodgson, 2010)
Counter-argument - 1
Rebuttal - 1

6. • R E sources depend on the climate
(Cassedy and Grossman,1998)
• R E sources not limited widely distributed
(world)
(Abdullah et al., 2012)
Counter-argument - 2
Rebuttal - 2

7.  Two main Dimensions “R E s” Alternatives
• R E Sustainable energy
(Kreith and Goswami, 2007)
• R E no negative effect on the environment
(Everett et al., 2010)
Supporting arguments
Argument - 1
Argument - 2

8.  Conclusion:
• R E is more economical in terms of overall cost
• R E s are equally spread around the world
• R E can be continued for an infinite period of time
• R E is an environmentally friendly technology
