Every day it becomes much easier to visualize a world run purely by renewable energy, a world free from human contamination. It wasn't until the 20th century that people recognized the menace that the industrial revolution was for the environment. Since then, the concepts like renewable energy, greenhouse effect and pro-environmentalism have passed to be of common use. Today, even more than a debate, the mystery within renewable energy has become in the toothache of engineers. Every time more need for renewable energy arise while engineers never seem to agree on what is the best renewable energy resource. However, the day in which people would welcome a new era of energy appears to be arriving. The ambivalence is narrowing and approaching to the best decision. The combination of the different forms of renewable energy must be the best way to generate clean and safe energy. Primarily, a balance among renewable energy resources appears to be the most reasonable method to preserve the environment. That is because none of the renewable resources can stand by themselves and face the problems in the environment (Baredar et al. 265). First, some renewable resources can help in the scavenging of organic wastes but their excessive use could cause starvation. For instance, Bio-energy resources are capable to produce enormous quantities of energy out of raw materials, such as wood and vegetable oil, but they have as a constraint the endangerment of the food production for growing populations (Hedberg et al. 3). Biomass energy is considered the strongest candidate to replace fossil fuels (''Wind Power,'' Darvill.clara.net) but it is not strong enough to replace fossil fuels by itself without causing collateral effects.
