the inevitable depletion of our environment’s nonrenewable resources. Of course‚ electric power is not the only factor that has lead to our supply of nonrenewable resources declining in recent decades. The overdependence on natural gas and oil to fuel our cars and to heat our homes has also been a huge contributing factor. Although mining minerals does not have a direct effect on energy and the resulting campaign to conserve it‚ this mining does also contribute to our nonrenewable resources becoming

ow‚ what do mean by this? This means that conservation of a unit of energy is cheaper and environmentally more desirable than to generate an additional unit. For‚ it is estimated that generation of every additional kilowatt for one hour of energy requires an investment of Rs. 7‚000 to 12‚000 in the form of new energy generation equipments. Excessive utilization of coal and oil for generation of electricity leads to the multiple problems of acid rain‚ and rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
