always available

                                              2. Can't be depleted although used in very much condition

     C.Topic Sentence          : And because the renewable energy is infinite, it's price is cheap

III. Conclussion

      Concluding Sentence : Because of the three reasons, we must stop using the fossil energy
and start using the renewable energy to keep the life in this world.
 The Reason Why We Must Use Renewable Energy in Nowadays World Condition

Air pollution is worsening in Jakarta and West Java, while tens of millions of people experienced a
day-long blackout earlier this month after gas-powered electricity generators failed and significant
proportions of eastern Indonesia have do not have reliable power supplies. So why does Indonesia
remain so reliant on fossil fuels?

For an archipelago as large as Indonesia, located along the equator and on top of a ring of active
volcanoes, you wouldn’t be wrong in thinking the nation could become one of the world’s leaders in
renewable energy.

In fact, Indonesia has the potential to generate 788,000 megawatts (MW) of power from renewable
energy sources such as wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal. This is more than 14 times the country’s
current electricity consumption. Thanks to magma, hot rocks, and hot water beneath its surface,
Indonesia has 40% of the world’s geothermal energy stores, enough for 29,000 MW of energy.
Meanwhile, its huge maritime area could provide 75,760 MW of power through projects such as the
Larantuka Straits Tidal Bridge, a US$550 million project that will power 250,000 homes in East Flores.
When completed, it will be the world’s largest tidal power plant.

Yet in 2018, of the approximately 60,000 MW of electricity used every year in Indonesia, only 12% of
this came from renewable energy sources. The rest is sourced from coal (55%), gas (26%), and oil
(7%), and it is these fossil fuels that are responsible for Jakarta’s air pollution woes (coal plants in
Banten and West Java) as well as the 4 August blackout (caused by failures at gas plants in Cilegon).
State energy provider PLN is now offering Rp 839 billion (US$58.7 million) in compensation for the
power outage.

Part of the problem lies in regulation. The Constitutional Court ruled in 2003 that electricity is an
important state product and must be managed by the government through either state-owned
enterprises or public-private partnerships. This means that no independent power companies can
sell electricity directly to consumers; instead, they must sell their electricity to PLN first.

As Abidah Setyowati points out in East Asia Forum, the situation isn’t that simple. Multiple new
energy policies are issued every year – in 2017 alone, 20 policies were released, some of which were
later withdrawn. One policy requires private investors to transfer their projects to PLN at the end of
agreement periods, which, combined with the fact that the Minister for Energy and Mineral
Resources sets the consumer price of energy, has led to concern about return on investment.
