Understanding green energy

Understanding Green energy 

Green energy is the future and it is the solution to extreme climate change and even greater sustainability. Green energy is a type of renewable source of power that is derived from a natural source. 

What is renewable energy? 

A renewable energy source is anything that can create power without being exhausted. We’re talking about natural resources like wind, sun, water, organic matter, and geothermal heat. When compared to so-called “conventional” energy sources such as fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, and natural gas) and crude oil-based petroleum products, renewables provide a sustainable, clean source of energy with zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

We are speaking of fighting climate change but it’s important to understand why we need to combat climate change. Let us carefully analyze how climate change is disastrous for the planet and how green energy is a potential tool that can be used to resist the near-fatal consequences of climate change. 

The adverse effects of climate change 

Climate change disrupts the Earth’s temperature balance and has far-reaching implications for humans and the ecosystem. There is a contrast between the immediate and indirect consequences of climate change. Because of the rising amount of greenhouse gases, the total energy and therefore the temperature of the Earth increase throughout global warming, which has a profound influence on humans and the environment.

The effects of climate change on many areas of society are interconnected. Drought could disrupt both food production and human health. Flooding may cause disease spread and harm to ecosystems and infrastructure. Human health difficulties can raise mortality, reduce food availability, and reduce labor productivity. Climate change has an influence on every part of our world. However, the effects of climate change vary across the country and the world; even within a single community, the effects of climate change might differ between neighborhoods or people.

Green energy as a shield against climate change 

The only way we can protect the climate is by taking a tactical, assertive, and definite approach. The time for prevention is already long gone and small steps are of no help and make no substantial difference. 

One big factor in the rapid degradation of the environment is the excessive use of non-renewable energy sources. The ongoing use of nonrenewable resources has major consequences on our health and well-being, both of which are intimately connected to the environmental impacts of nonrenewable resources. 

Predictably, the use of nonrenewable energy sources has a number of negative long-term consequences, either because of how they are collected and processed or because of how they are exploited and afterward disposed of.

Renewable energy has been proposed as a solution. We would be taking a step towards environmental preservation by employing green energy as an alternate source.

Besides curbing climate change, transitioning to green energy has economic and community benefits as well. Developing and operating clean technologies like wind farms creates millions of new jobs, brings in funds for schools and community projects, and preserves human health by reducing air pollution.

Green energy is not only a more sustainable energy source, but it is also less expensive. We get to save money as well as breathe cleaner air, let’s invest in a healthy future!
