There is no path to protecting the climate without dramatically changing how we produce and use electricity: nearly 40% of US CO2 pollution comes from power plants burning fossil fuels. ... Renewable energy minimizes carbon pollution and has a much lower impact on our environment. And it's having its moment in the sun.

Answer:

Its important because using the fossil fuels is overheating the planet, and were just wasting something we will never get back, and renewable will make the planet cleaner. This will help because it will dis-polute the air and the ozone layer would be fixed and protect us from the suns rays of radiation with no more holes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!
