In the article, "Reviewing Usage, Potentials, and Limitations of Renewable Energy Sources", Halkos and Gkampoura(2020) addressed the benefits and limitations of the renewable energy sources and their consumption to the" climate change, human health and economic growth." The authors found that the most important responses to climate change are the decline in the use of fossil fuels and the transformation to alternative sources of energy. The authors said that compared to fossil fuels, renewable energy could provide energy with zero or low direct to greenhouse gas emissions which can maintain green energy supply. Gradually, "they do not deplete", and they can supply sufficient resources to satisfy the global demand. The authors also mentioned that renewable energy is an optimal way to fulfil the reduction goal of GHG emissions and to restrict the increase in global temperature to under 2 degrees. As renewable energy is relying on the climate, climate change will harm them. The authors said that the production of biomass could be affected by climate change. Hence, the capacity of biomass oil is affected too. The authors observed that higher energy use could contribute to greater economic growth, as the developed economy can allow more productive use of energy and reduce overall energy use. Moreover, fossil fuels also found that could cause a variety of health issues by pollution of carbon dioxide and other contaminants. Halkos and Gkampoura said that higher energy use could contribute to greater economic growth, as the developed economy can allow more productive use of energy and reduce overall energy use. The authors asserted renewable energy could increase air quality and have a beneficial impact on human health because renewable energy can decrease greenhouse pollution and other toxic contaminants. This article is useful to our report because of its contents which are variable sources for our research.
