of harming the environment, renewable energy sources could be used, such as solar, wind, or water energy. Installing wind turbines offshore could replace oil drilling as a main source of energy. Unlike solar power, wind turbines also could work during the nighttime, capturing more energy than solar panels. Maintenance and risk levels for wind turbines would be significantly lower than those for oil rigs. Wind power creates more jobs at a lower risk level, ensuring the safety of the environment and
