Aside from our water and food resources needs‚ energy can be considered as one of the world’s most important recourses. Our world has been supplied with two types of energy‚ the Renewable energy and Conventional energy. From the past decades‚ energy has been a huge help on the economic growth. Through the distribution of energy to the world it has been providing much efficient growth on discovering new technologies and giving job opportunities that drastically helped our local and global economy

ENERGY CONSERVATION IN INDIA INTRODUCTION India has made rapid strides towards economic self-reliance over the last few years. Impressive progress has been made in the fields of industry‚ agriculture‚ communication‚ transport and other sectors necessitating growing consumption of energy for developmental and economic activities. If India is to achieve the targeted growth in GDP‚ it would need commensurate input of energy‚ mainly commercial energy in the form of coal‚ oil‚ gas and electricity.

* The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the Earth. This energy can be converted into other forms of energy‚ such as heat and electricity. * In the 1830s‚ the British astronomer John Herschel famously used a solar thermal collector box (a device that absorbs sunlight to collect heat) to cook food during an expedition to Africa. Today‚ people use the sun’s energy for lots of things. solar energy can be used to: * Heat

Renewable Energy in Malaysia Energy is a key driver for economic growth‚ constituting about 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2010‚ the total primary energy supply was 3127.7 petajoules. The main energy sources of commercial energy supply were crude oil‚ which accounted 44.7% and natural gas which accounted 41.6%. These sources remain major ones. However‚ the share of coal and coke increased from 9.1% in 2005 to 11.2 % in these years and only 2.5% came from the non-fossil source of hydro

mean by sustainable energy? Sustainable energy is about using energy wisely and using energy generated from clean sources and clean technologies. Wise energy use is the first step to ensuring we have sustainable energy for present and future generations. Being efficient with our energy will reduce our household and business energy bills‚ reduce the amount of energy we need to produce in the first place and cut energy related greenhouse pollution. So sustainable energy is not just about

and work. On a global scale renewable energy supplies a significant benefit to our planet such as‚ lowering energy costs‚ job creation‚ and preserving the environment. With energy costs continuously on the rise and more frequent disasters affecting us as a whole‚ the fact remains that moving toward renewable energy forms most certainly makes these problems vanish. Though not an easy task it is safe to say that the world is headed in a green direction. Energy costs have risen in the Unites States
