It is a fact that, alternative energy sources are being produced for a long time to substitute non-renewable sources such as oil and natural gas. As of 2018, it is foreseen that main non-renewable energy sources, oil, natural gas, and coal, will be exhausted respectively in 36, 57 and 119 years.1 85% of the energy is produced from non-renewable energy sources which results in hazardous consequences. Therefore, it is not surprising that the tendency towards alternative sources is gaining momentum. One of the hazardous consequences can be expressed as "damage to nature". The debate on global warming is beyond dispute; because of the overheating, the glaciers are melting and the conditions of the seasons are noticeably changing. Moreover, global warming is also one of the reasons that accelerates the direction towards alternative energy sources. However, the acceleration is not that fast.
