Energy is very important because without energy things wouldn’t be able to function. Life simply can’t exist without energy. Energy it’s just a huge part of Earth. Now a day’s modern civilization depends on the use of energy when it comes to transportation because energy requires movement. Three energy sources that are currently being used in my regular routine would the air conditioner at home, my car that I use during travel and the computer for work. “In the U.S. homes, natural gas the most widely used energy source (49%), followed by the secondary energy source, electricity at 39%. That’s reversed in commercial buildings, where electricity (55%) is depended on more than natural gas (32%)”(2014). I also used other source of energy at home like the dryer or washer, and the refrigerator, but the one I use the most is the air conditioner. It is on practically 24 hours a day, where I live it is super hot: therefore air conditioner it’s a must. When to utilizing energy to travel, the ones I use the most is my personal car. It is also important to know that using energy during travel doesn’t always include only personal cars, it also includes light trucks, public trains or buses, airplanes, shipment train, and pipelines. In my office or at work, the energy which I use the most in my in your regular routine would be the computer. There is also an air conditioner, and things in the dinner like, stove, or fridge. There are many long term and short aspects that been observed on both humans and the environment as a result of increasing energy needs and use. When it comes to the environment, one of the short impacts there has been is since burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas makes electricity.
