The US will be less dependent on the Middle East for oil if we have more Green Energy options. When we are this dependent on other countries, small things and issues outside of the Middle East can effect that relationship. We won't have to spend extra money on troops to keep fighting at a minimum. Therefore, the extra money can be spent in other ways.
Renewable energy creates jobs for many people.This is a good way to provide jobs for many people while helping decrease the reliance on fossil fuels. Increasing Green Energy can get a much better, high-paying job for people with bad jobs. According to energy.gov the solar industry added more than 73,000 jobs in 2016, a 25% increase than in 2015. It's estimated that one out of every 50 new jobs created came from solar. If this keeps up, plenty of people can get a good job, while doing good for the planet.
Using Green Energy is good for the planet. Green Energy, or Renewable energy, is oil free and releases no emissions into the atmosphere. Once you buy solar panels, or a small wind turbine, you don't need to spend nearly as much money on electricity. This causes less electricity bills and less stress. Below is a graph by Tesla showing the estimated compairison of a electricity bill over the year with and without solar panels.
