Explained: Why Green Energy is Important?
Nowadays, we have become dependent on fossil fuels and nuclear energy for electricity. However, they cause great harm to the environment. So what is the solution? The solution is green energy.
Green energy is a type of energy. It produces energy but does not cause any harm to the environment. Examples include solar energy and wind energy.
So what harm do non-renewable resources cause to the environment?
Energy is obtained by burning fossil fuels. Due to which, Greenhouse gases such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide are released in the process. These gases build up in the atmosphere and cause pollution. Nuclear Energy is produced using radioactive materials. This can be deadly if not disposed of properly.
Green Energy such as Wind, Solar and Water energy does not produce any greenhouse gases. So, they are safer for the environment compared to non-renewable resources. Non- Renewable energy is exhaustible while renewable energy is inexhaustible.
What is the best and cheapest energy for homes?
There are many types of green energy. Wind energy is too costly and can be dangerous for birds. It also takes a lot of space. So it is best suitable for plains and flat areas. Hydropower is not possible in urban areas as it is too costly to be set up by a sole person and takes up too much space. So the best option is Solar Panels. Why? This is because they are relatively cheaper and can provide enough energy for a house to function. It is also easy to set up and does not take much space.
