Subject: Transitioning Energy Sources in Blackford
Dear Mayor Johnson,
My name is Mark Thompson, and I am a resident of Blackford. I am writing about use of non-renewable energy sources in our town. Currently, approximately 70% of our energy comes from coal and natural gas. They not only contribute to air pollution but also harm our health. Burning coal releases significant amounts of carbon dioxide and other harmful pollutants. This causes respiratory problems for residents.
I believe Blackford should explore renewable energy options, such as solar and wind power. These sources are eco-friendly and safe. By investing in solar panels and wind turbines, we can create clean energy. For instance, solar energy systems can reduce electricity costs by 20% for households. Moreover, wind energy has the potential to provide up to 30% of our town’s energy needs.
Thank you for considering this important change.
Sincerely,
Mark Thompson
