is impossible without industry‚ which needs energy resources. Nowadays‚ the range of goods‚ required by common people‚ has expanded significantly‚ compared to the old times. People feel the need‚ not only for some primary things‚ such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads‚ but also‚ for various facilities and luxuries. Providing humanity with these things involves the exploitation of natural resources. In turn‚ the conventional sources of energy we use today cause pollution‚ so economic growth

America has become so dependent on using resources such as oil‚ natural gas and fossil fuels‚ the most convenient form of energy‚ for our everyday lifestyle. From using cars and electricity in our homes to getting our products at our nearest retailer‚ we use a large amount of energy. With the rise of energy consumption‚ due to our lifestyles‚ there have been more and more ways of alternative energy production to be able to keep the same lifestyle

wherein he subjugates his quest for a better life‚ would be a myth. Natural resources need to be tapped to provide for artificial comforts and luxuries. And to run these items of luxury‚ we need energy. That conventional sources of energy are responsible for various types of pollution is unarguable. But even when we consider the non-conventional sources of energy which are often favoured for environment friendly modes of energy generation‚ they have their limitations. The primary drawback lies in the

farms are sowed‚ grown‚ cut‚ resowed on the same land. Both means take energy‚ but the former takes a more natural‚ less energy intensive path‚ while the latter takes more energy input from the use of fossil fuels to power the machines to plant‚ sow and maintain the tree farms. Once the trees are felled‚ requiring energy input‚ it is converted to pulp. The transformation of tree chips into pulp and then paper is an energy intensive endeavor‚ taking fossil fuel inputs to form and shape the paper
