How important is it to explore alternative forms of energy?

(SA005) According to the world fuel consumption status, about 80 per cent of the worlds energy that we use comes from the fossil fuels, which are the non-renewable energy sources. And with the ever increasing demand for energy from all around the globe, this usage of the fossil fuels has also been increasing at a rocketing rate of 2.3 per cent per annum. With such figures persisting, fossil fuels, i.e. coal, natural gas and mineral oil, will eventually run out. On the other hand, due to the air pollution resulting from the use of these fuels, respiratory problems, and global warming have also risen. In this context, the alternative forms of energy, which are also the renewable energy sources, seem to be the only and best option. Studies show that if the present consumption rate persists, the whole explored and unexplored oil reserves will exhaust by the year 2070. As a result of this fuel crisis, humans will suffer unprecedented social, economic, and political unrest. But thanks to alternative energy sources, the bio gas, nuclear energy, wind energy, tidal energy and geo thermal energy, that they are renewable, meaning they are not likely to get exhausted even if their continuous consumption is done. So, the first advantage about using alternative energy forms is that, unlike fossil fuels, we do not have to worry if they might get exhausted. Second advantage is the environment friendly nature of the alternative forms of energy. Except the radio active wastes produced in nuclear fission, all the alternative forms of energy do not create pollution. So, in the context where due the air pollution caused by the smoke emitted from the vehicles and industries that combust the fossil fuels, that the cases of bronchitis, lung cancer, etc, and the threat of global warming are increasing, the alternative energy sources are capable of making for our environment, a much needed promise. There are other advantages of exploring alternative forms of energy too. One such advantage is that employment opportunities are created for many people. This is worth a lot in the present era where not only in the third-world nations like Nepal, but also in the industrially advanced countries such as Spain and the US, there are many jobless people. Other infrastructures of development such as electricity, transport, etc will automatically be available in the sites where the exploration is done. Furthermore, the sites can also be a potential tourist attraction. This is especially beneficial for countries like Nepal where the exploration of the places has always been a problem in developing the tourism industry. Besides, a nation can always earn money by exporting the energy that it has explored. Each of the alternative forms of energy has its own advantages over the non-renewable energy sources. Bio gas, for example, burns without smoke and has a high caloric value. The raw materials needed to establish a bio gas plant are easily available and inexpensive, and the

residue left over in the plant is also excellent manure. Geo thermal energy, a next alternative energy form, has its uniqueness of cheapness. Geo thermal energy, including tidal energy, wind energy and nuclear fusion energy, is pollution-free. With the growth of modern civilization and increasing population, the consumption of energy has always been on the sky, and further demands never stop too. The fossil fuels that we have been consuming at large are likely to exhaust soon if the present situations stay, and it pollutes the environment too. Neither we can survive in a world without energy consumption, nor can we risk the threats that the respiratory problems and the global warming can cause to us. As such, the exploration of the environment friendly, renewable, and economically profitable alternative forms of energy seems to be undeniably important.
