Development of Renewable Energy Sources Alongside Current Drilling With Respect to the Economy

The purpose of this research is to propose a potential solution to the continuous problem of environmental degradation. One of the primary concerns about environmental salvation centers around the balance between economic growth and environmental protection, a delicate balance that is dictated by the public, in favor of the economy. This balance often does not allow for the advancement of one without the hindrance of the other. Ideally, this research would identify and suggest a feasible compromise that would be acceptable to environmentalists and economic businesses alike that particularly emphasizes the relationship between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources and explores how simultaneous development of both fields would be possible in order to satisfy each opposing side. This solution would see the Department of Interior take charge in a leasing plan that would give additional access to oil while also requiring renewable energy growth, addressing both environmental degradation and economics together.
