The
choice before us is simple. Will we continue to subsidize the dirty fossil
fuels of the past, or will we transition to 21st century clean,
renewable energy?
Nowadays, urbanization leads to an increase in
the demand for everything important for human life. We need the Energy to run
out everything like our businesses, home, industries, and other facilities,
etc. Even we need the energy to do every work. If we use safer energy so it
would be a better option for not only us for our new generations. We must adopt
safer and sound energy resources like solar, wind, biomass, etc. It not only
reduces the pollution of non-renewable energy resources but also boosts up the
economy by saving the amount of non-renewable energy resources because
renewable energy resources are natural and endless.
A renewable energy source
is a sustainable energy that can’t run out or is said to be an endless energy
resource. It is also referred to as an alternative energy sources mean
renewable resource. Renewable resources are solar energy, wind energy, hydro
energy, tidal energy, geothermal energy, and biomass energy.
Our
dependence on fossil fuels amounts to global pyromania, and the only fire
extinguisher we have at our disposal is renewable energy!
Sunlight is one of
the most important and freely available resources of energy. The amount of
energy that reaches the earth's surface in one hour is more than the planet's
total energy requirements in one year. The
second most important energy is hydropower which is the most commercially
developed energy source. By constructing the dam, we can run a turbine and
generate electricity.
The third form of renewable energy is the
conversion of solid fuel made from plants into electricity. This is a much
easier and energy-efficient method of generating electricity. By converting agricultural, industrial, and
domestic waste into solid, liquid, and gas fuel, biomass generates power at a
much lower economic and environmental cost. The other sources of renewable energy
are tidal energy, geothermal energy, wind energy. Although the installation cost of all
renewable resources is high it reduces not only pollution but boosts up the
economy by generating safer and energy-efficient electricity sources.
By using
non-renewable resources like fossil fuels is not environmentally friendly as it
releases loads of gases and noxious gases and particulate matters into the atmosphere
which destroy the overall environment and thus contribute to climate change and
global warming. Burning wood instead of coal is slightly but it’s complex but
wood is a renewable resource, it comes from sustainably managed forests. Wood
pellets and compressed briquettes are made from by-products of the wood
processing industry and so arguably it’s recycling waste.
Energy is
essential for development, and sustainable energy is essential for sustainable
development!
As the world
population increases, so the demand for energy to power our homes, businesses,
and communities also increases. Innovation and expansion of renewable sources
of energy are key to maintaining a sustainable level of energy and protect our
planet from climate change. Renewable energy sources make up 26% of the world’s
electricity today, but according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), its
share is expected to reach 30% by 2024. In 2020, the UK hit a new amazing
renewable energy milestone. On Wednesday 10th June, the country
celebrated two months of running purely on renewable energy for the first time.
This is a great step in the right direction for renewables.
According to my
perspective, we must adopt renewable sources of energy because these are endless,
the initial cost of installation is high but if we focus on the amazing output
of these energy resources we’ll achieve much greater benefits of these energy
resources.
I think
the cost of energy will come down when we make this transition to renewable
energy.
