Topic: Green Energy

Largely, one fourth of the world’s population—which is approximately 1.6


billion people, live without any access to electricity and this number has barely
changed in outright terms since 1970. And however, the amount of electricity
required for individuals to be able to properly read at night, pump a negligible
amount of drinking water and tune in to radio broadcasts would sum to less
than 1 % of total worldwide energy demand.
All research and data collection in the field of energy consumption in current
times point to the ongoing patterns of energy consumption are
environmentally unsustainable. The overpowering dependence on fossil fuels,
specifically, undermines to change the Earth’s climate to a degree that seem to
have grave results on both natural and artificial environments. Hence, this is
exactly when the topic of ‘Green Energy’ comes into play, as energy produced
from green sources do not emit carbon or harm the environment. Green
energy is accrued from characteristic sources such as daylight, wind, rain, tides,
plants, algae and geothermal heat. All these energy resources are renewable,
revealing that they are naturally renewed over a period of time, unlike, fossil
fuels, which are a limited asset that take millions of years to create and will
proceed to decrease with consumption over the years. Green energy,
nevertheless, utilizes energy sources that are present in abundance all over the
world, taking in count both rural and remote areas that do not otherwise have
promised access to electricity. Progresses in green energy innovations have
lowered the cost of solar panels, wind turbines and other sources of green
energy, replacing the production of energy from oil, gas, coal and utility
companies.
Technological advancements and modern financing strategies are making
green energy more available than ever. As a result, solar, wind, hydropower
and other natural and sustainable sources are highly anticipated to account for
half or even more than half of future global energy production.
