In the first place, solar and wind energy reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, which are harmful to the environment.

Additionally, transitioning to renewable energy helps create jobs in emerging industries, contributing to economic growth. In contrast, continuing to rely on non-renewable resources will only exacerbate the environmental crisis and harm future generations.
