Alternative Energy Archives

With the drastic current consumption of the non-renewable energy reserves across the world, it is predicted that we might end up in acute energy crisis within a span of another 100 years from now. In addition to the problem of energy crisis, there are several factors that necessitate the search for alternate energy reserves. Let us get ourselves educated on this and try to do what best we can to save ourselves from the impending energy crisis.

Why do we Need Alternative Energy?

The fossil fuels that have been the main source of energy since long ago is getting depleted day by day. This precious energy resource was formed from the decayed organic matter that was buried into the earth several hundreds of years back. With time, it got decomposed and was subjected to such pressure and high heat that it got converted to inflammable energy forms. Restoration of the depleting fossil fuel energy would need another few hundred years within which we will completely run out of the existing fossil fuel resources. The probability of an upcoming energy crisis induces a desperate need for alternative energy in some form.

The rising fuel costs and the skyrocketing domestic energy bills induce a very strong need for alternative energy forms.

Impending ecological damage that is likely to be inflicted by the burning of the non-renewable energy sources creates a destitute requirement for alternative energy. Burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide, which is a green house gas that has the capability of reflecting the heat of the sun and has the tendency to retain the ambient temperature hot. Global warming is an ecological concern that arises out of the increase in the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. However, the trees which have proven to be the heat sinks absorb carbon dioxide and release the much needed oxygen into the atmosphere. Amidst this interesting factor, deforestation has started sending chills down the spine that the combination of green house effect and deforestation insinuate irrecoverable ecological destruction in the long run.

Pollution inflicted by the burning of fossil fuels and natural gas articulate a mandatory need for alternative energy. The burning of the fossil fuels releases particulate matter into the atmosphere that proves to inflict hazardous health problems in humans. It also releases nitrogen oxides which in turn gets broken down to nitrogen. This process entails the contraction of blue baby syndrome in infants, algal blooms and eutrophication of the water bodies across the globe.

The combustion of non-renewable energy sources tend to give out sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which in turn have the ability to cause acid rain that proves to be hazardous not only to buildings, monuments but also to the crops and plants worldwide.

Give all the above scenarios, alternative energy forms has become a desperate need of the hour that many researches have started aiming at finding an optimal, usable, viable and practical form of alternative energy resource that can cater to the unceasing energy demands of the human population across the globe.

In the prevalent world, the quest for the alternative energy resources beats that of the Holy Grail. The term alternative energy resource is frequently used synonymous to renewable energy sources. This is a futuristic approach towards things, whereby the deteriorating impact of current human practices is kept in regard. By search and implementation of such energy resources, we may be able to conserve the environment and save our natural resources from depletion.

Major Alternative Sources

The most hyped about alternative energy resources available for now are the solar energy, biomass energy (biofuels), wind energy, nuclear energy, hydrogen, microhydro generators, and geothermal energy. Nonetheless, the progressive research is still underway to optimize the use of the above energy resources as well as to discover new forms that can be effectively utilized by the teeming millions of the world. Discovery and usage of these methods bring myriad advantages, but there is strong criticism against these and similar others.

Constraints for Optimal Usage

In the weighing of pros and cons of alternative energy resources, the benefits are ideally way more diverse and large scale, nonetheless, they are sagged down by the more realistic limitations associated to their use. Some of these widespread notions are:

The major parts of the world lack basic infrastructure. They are also deprived of the core physiological needs on the whole. So, the huge capital invested in research with a tentative shot at success may yield more benefits if spent on the well-being of the under-privileged strata of society.

In case of biofuels, the alternative energy resources can manifest a great deal of utility. However, the process of manufacturing electricity or other necessary forms of energy on a large scale is energy intensive itself. An ethical dilemma also occurs in this scenario. As the edible and cash crops are traded off for biofuels, the existing starvation in the world worsens.

The complicated and vast plants for consuming solar and wind energy in production procedures cost a great deal of fortune. As compared to the expensive input these alternative energy resources require, the outcome is meager. The resulting amount of energy is not available for mass public due to technology constraints. These resources may be ample in one region of the world and scanty in the other too.

Even though everyone is well-aware of the benefits of nuclear energy and how it can suffice for all our needs, a question mark still remains on the safety of this source of energy. Nuclear energy has been used for various disastrous and valuable purposes for last few decades; nonetheless, the unsafe methods of the by-product disposal make it more of a menace than blessing for now.

The time and resources required by the billions of inhabitants to change their lifestyle from a deep-rooted custom to a more contemporary mode of living are great. Hence, information, persistence and persuasion are needed for people to adopt these alternative resources of energy as a component of their lives.

These limitations can be overcome in future with the innovative technology and spread of public awareness. Consequently, people can resort to these alternative energy resources for making our planet a better place to thrive in.
