It is estimated that our dependence on fossil fuels will lead to an unsustainable situation over time, as these are finite resources. Recognizing this reality gives rise to the need for change—the search for an alternative energy source—so that we no longer depend on these energy sources, which also cause irreversible damage to the planet.
This situation highlights the importance of the power generation using renewable sources that present many advantages, such as environmental benefits or be virtually inexhaustible resources, among many others. But they are also a source of job creation, contributing significantly to improve the country's economy.
This infographic shows the extent to which various renewable energy sources have been used around the world in recent years. It illustrates how many countries in Europe are highly committed to the use of renewable energy, and also shows that the United States, China, and Germany are making significant investments in these energy sources.
Other countries have succeeded in generating energy using renewable energy sources nearly 100%, exceeding 99%. These countries are Uruguay, Lesotho, Costa Rica, and Iceland.
