The United States uses primary energy sources such as coal, natural gas and petroleum. There are five main energy consuming areas. There is electric power, transportation, industrial, residential and commercial. The United States subsidizes and promotes the use of coal. Coal provides jobs and have contributed to reducing emissions by the U.S. and using coal provides reliable and affordable access to energy. Gasoline and oil are great resources that not just the United States uses but also the rest of the world. Coal, natural gas and petroleum account for nearly 80% of energy production.
U.S. promotes:
-Coal use
-Oil use
What should we keep?
The United States should keep using coal to our advantage. Coal is very inexpensive along with it being inexpensive it has about 150 years until coal would in most people's minds run out. Coal provides many jobs for people and it's a reliable source of energy for people to access it. Also the United States needs to start using renewable energy for a healthier future. The United States by using wind, solar, hydropower it benefits the Earth by using clean energy.
What we quit doing?
In my opinion the United States needs to limit the use of gasoline. Electric powered cars have been talked about along with manufacturers building electric powered cars. Electric powered cars will save the United States massive amounts of money on and manufacturers would not have to build many car appliances as in the past. There's many health benefits in electric cars, cheaper to maintain, safety improvements. If the United States changed all cars to electric this would benefit lower the demand for gasoline and cars would have better mileage.
