Opan Modal 2.0- Why Renewable

How is Renewable Energy Changing the Game?

In this day and age, the harmful effects of using fossil fuels don’t have to be an accepted factor of industry and economy. Renewable energy is changing the global energy game one home at a time.

Recent technological advances have made the idea of true, sustainable energy more than just the pipe dream of hippies and environmentalists. Now, it is a real option for commercial and residential energy needs alike.

Not only is renewable energy real, it is easily attainable and boats some pretty incredible benefits to counteract the negative effects of fossil fuel dependence and consumption.

Creates Economic Stability

While the startup costs of renewable technology may be higher for the production company, it is far more sustainable and the trickle down costs are far less variable than with fossil fuels.

Reduces Harmful Emissions

Instead of producing harmful emissions and toxic chemicals that damage the environment, renewable energy utilizes top-tier technology to harness natural resources like wind, water, and the sun.

Simplifying Clean Energy

Mpower Energy is working hard to make 100% renewable energy easily accessible to everyone, nationwide. We utilize a combination of wind, hydro, and solar energy to power your home.

Creates More Jobs

As the relevance of fossil fuels wane, the renewable energy sector is strengthening their workforce. In fact, solar energy maintained 43% of the entire energy workforce in 2016

Improves Public Health

The overall reduction in CO₂ from the use of renewable energy sources improves the health of your community in both obvious and unseen ways.

Provide Energy Independence

Injecting a new player into the game helps reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil reserves, keeping everything sustainably localized.

What’s Wrong?

Your Health & Fossil Fuels

The human body is incredibly versatile and durable, but like any precision machine, it can be susceptible to microscopic particles, much like the ones emitted into our atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

Even if you are not directly exposed to dangerous fossil fuel particulates, like coal workers, you can still feel the effects of the rising levels of pollution in the atmosphere and in the water

According to the WHO, climate change is expected to cause

250,000+

Additional Deaths Every Year

directly resulting from heat stress, malnutrition, malaria, and diarrhea.

Asthma

Rapidly increasing levels of CO₂, airborne allergens, and fine particulate matter in the atmosphere can lead to a rise in chronic respiratory illnesses, like asthma.

The effects are widespread and can often exacerbate existing illnesses or trigger new ones by burning lung tissue, which makes you more susceptible to illness.

suffer from asthma
(Source: Beasley et al. 2003; National Institutes of Health 2001)

Birth Defects

The traditional energy sector utilizes byproduct and waste containment methods that aren’t 100% secure, resulting in chemicals and sediment leaching into the groundwater or being emitted into the atmosphere.

Mercury emissions and unlined combustion waste reservoirs from coal plants contaminate the air, surrounding bodies of water, and groundwater aquifers, resulting in birth defects, neurological disorders, reproductive disorders, and learning disabilities.

Cancer

Increased UV radiation due to changes in the ozone layer and toxic fossil fuel emissions are leading directly to various types of cancer, like lung and skin cancer.

Expected 10% increase of skin cancer in the US alone

Heart Disease

Prolonged exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a primary emission from burning coal, increases the risk and prevalence of cardiovascular disease and defects.

In 2010, fine particle pollution from U.S. coal plants resulted in an estimated

13,200 deaths

9,700 hospitalizations

20,000 heart attacks.

Water-Borne Illness

Various aspects of climate change, like variable rainfall and high water surface temperatures, are a major contributor to higher levels of water-borne illnesses, such as cholera and dysentery.

Water-borne illness is the
leading cause of death globally

3.4 million people dying each year

4,000 children each day

(Source: WHO)

Vector-Borne Illness

Excessive rainfall and wastewater runoff provide stagnant water nesting grounds for disease-carrying insects, effectively increasing the likelihood of vector-borne illness outbreaks, such as malaria and West Nile virus.

Insects are cold-blooded organisms and the rising global temperatures are allowing them to multiply faster and hatch earlier in the season than in previous years.

Annually 350 to 500 million cases of malaria are reported and result in the deaths of an estimated one to three million people, mostly young children.

Opan Modal 4.0- Environment

The Environmental Impact
of Traditional Energy

Have you ever sat down and thought about what kind of impact your daily, monthly, or even yearly fossil fuel consumption affects the planet? Of course, we all know that the impact is not positive, but sometimes it can hit much too close for comfort.

The production and consumption of fossil fuels for traditional energy emit carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other harmful chemicals into the atmosphere, which puts excess stress on our ozone layer.

In 2014, 78% of US global warming emissions were energy-related emissions of carbon dioxide.

Renewable energy, like wind, solar, and geothermal, contributed less than 1% of the total energy-related global warming emissions.

Damage to our ozone layer causes a whole host of negative environmental effects that can impact everything from the local
weather patterns to the number of mosquitoes we battle in the summer.

Extreme Weather

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere lend themselves to extreme weather patterns, well beyond what is normal for any given time of year.

These extreme weather events each have their own devastating impact on the environment, from animal habitat loss to surface water contamination.

Fossil fuel consumption can directly and indirectly cause:

Droughts
Tornadoes
Heat Waves
Hurricanes
Forest Fires
Floods

Acid Rain

While you may not have experienced acid rain in your lifetime, it is still a very real danger to the environment as a whole, decimating food crops, forests, and clean water sources for miles.

Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NO, NO₂), primary byproducts of burning fossil fuels for energy, are major causes of acid rain.

In the U.S. electric power generation accounted for

Nitrous Oxide Emissions (Source: NADP)

Sulfur Dioxide Emissions

Species Extinction

Due to a number of factors directly related to fossil fuel consumption, many animal species are going extinct at a rate never before seen in history.

Climate change, pollution, and development are causing animal habitat loss on a grand scale, and it can all be attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Plus, oil spills and other disasters related to fossil fuels are a huge danger to already precarious wildlife populations.

1000 - 10,000x faster

than the historical norm

Food & Water Shortages

Excess rain can often overflow wastewater ponds from fossil fuel plants, and acid rain can contaminate lakes and rivers, doing irreparable damage to freshwater reservoirs and natural aquifers.

Plus, toxic particulates, acid rain, and extended droughts cripple the food supply by causing physical damage to crops, food shortages, and lower nutritional content of foods.

Sea Levels Rising

Climate change is slowly but surely rearranging our landmass, through erosion, melting glaciers and icecaps.

Melting permafrost and sea ice in the polar ice caps is contributing to an increase in sea levels each year, endangering coastal communities.

In fact, if the ice sheets around the world melted,
the sea level would rise about

230 feet

drowning ALL coastal cities around the world. (Souce: AMNH.org)

the average acidity of our oceans
has risen over 30%. (Source: NRDC.org)

Ocean Acidification

The processes of harvesting, transporting, and burning fossil fuels is causing low pH levels in our oceans, making them far too acidic to sustain life.

Excessive amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enter the ocean and combine with the sea water to create carbonic acid, causing toxic algae blooms and reducing the oxygen in the water

Opan Modal 5.0- Economy

The Economic Stability
of Traditional Energy

The use of fossil fuels for energy and transportation has been a cornerstone of our economy and the growth of industry for decades, but it is beginning to lose momentum. So, you have to ask yourself if fossil fuels are a smart investment for future economic stability.

Surprisingly, the answer is “NO” - fossil fuels are no longer the great industrial boon that they once were. In fact, renewable energy is projected to be a far more reliable and economically affordable option in coming years.

Limited Resources

Fossil fuels are a finite natural resource, and our dependence upon them is quickly depleting the planet’s resources in more ways than one.

When these ancient energy stores run out, an economic collapse is all but guaranteed if we do not take steps toward a better energy source.

We will run out of fossil fuels between 2050 and 2080. (Source: Ecotricity)

Pollution Costs Money

Although our lives depend on energy, the amount of pollution generated by that energy cost us money in the long-run.

These statistics are based on costs resulting from illness, healthcare costs, lost productivity, and early mortality rates brought on by pollution. (Source: EnvironmentalAmerica.org)

Job Creation Has Stalled

The traditional energy industry has played a vital role in propelling the economy forward in recent decades, however job creation has stalled within the energy sector and is already beginning to shift toward renewable.

In 2016, fossil fuel industries, including coal, oil, and natural gas, employed a cumulative 22% of the workforce within the energy sector.

Solar power alone employed a total of 43% of the overall energy workforce. (Source: Independent)

Higher Production Costs

Because fossil fuels are a dangerous and often volatile substance, the processes of harvesting, producing, and delivering energy through those sources comes with much higher production and maintenance costs that trickle down to the consumer.

With fossil fuel resources dwindling, production companies are forced to search for new technology and new drilling locations, increasing the costs even more.
