    There are a number of augments in favor of the diversification of energy sources in Australia. Using alternative sources of energy of the dependency on fossil fuel such as coal may reduce the greenhouse gas emission impact on the environment. Nicholls (2009) speculates that using clean energy that depends on natural wind, sun and geothermal in not only practical and has economical advantages but it also may be able to reduce the CO2 emission to 50% by 2040. In addition, sustainable energy is not only essential for Australians economic and ecosystem, in fact it is crucial solution to the worldwide environmental crisis such as climate change which is strongly linked to the ongoing development that is based on fossil fuel. Nicholls (2009) asserts that green and sustainable energy must be supported globally especially by industrialized countries.…

    However, there is renewable sources of energy in wind and solar energy. In Deborah Snow article in the Newcastle Herald titled “Reliance on fossil fuels challenged” she talks about Cameron Clyne position on Australia climate change policy. Cameron Clyne is the former head of the National Australia Bank, therefore knows of the economic importance of continuous growth for a global economy. Clyne accepts the scientific argument of climate change, but even for those that doubt the scientific legitimacy of the argument of climate change should be on board for renewable energy. He states that “the speed of the renewables revolution is "staggering", he says, and it would be "economically reckless" for Australia to remain coal-reliant” (Clyne). Even for those that do not see climate change as an issue, must see the legitimate risk of an economic system being reliant on an unrenewable resource. Much like the Unite States, Australia has resisted moving away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy. Fossil fuels remain cheap in the economic system. Therefore, they are seen a more practical than moving toward a renewable source of energy that would be able to maintain economic growth for the long-term. A movement toward renewable resources cannot take action, as long as the political power in control continue with near slightness, and the ones that object this near-slightness are ignored and labeled “bleeding…

Since then, people around the world have been using this source of energy. Hydropower plants use dams to hold back water that is then released through a turbine. The turbine’s spinning starts a generator that produces energy.…
