. Therefore, they must invest heavily in renewable energy products.
Pros
Cons
Pro claim 1
States must ensure that all
public transportation
runs on renewable energy while expanding its accessibility to diminish car usage.
Pro claim 2
Wide-ranging action must be taken to ensure that all buildings are as
energy-efficient
as possible.
Pro claim 3
The
manufacturing sector
, which produces goods using machinery, is one of the most polluting. The sooner it runs on renewable energy, the better.
Con claim 1, children below
It is not currently possible to run developed economies solely on renewable energy.
Con claim 2
This is easier said than done for economies that are very dependent on fossil fuels (
p. 72
). To these countries, the process is likely to be very costly.
