    Articles On Energy Crisis

    Uploaded by

    Shivam Dutta
    This essay discusses the global energy crisis and the need to conserve resources and develop alternative energy sources. It notes that the main energy resources of coal, natural gas, and oil will likely only last about 100 more years given current consumption rates. The essay outlines conventional resources like coal and oil as well as non-conventional sources including solar, hydro, natural gas, and biofuels. It emphasizes that harnessing solar energy through technologies could provide half of the energy needed in some countries. The conclusion stresses the importance of developing alternative non-conventional energy sources to address future energy challenges.

    Energy Crisis Essay

    This essay is about Energy Crisis, the need to conserve energy resources, conventional and
    non-conventional resources, solar energy, and other sources of energy.
    Introduction:Adequate availability of inexpensive energy is the most important demand of
    today. Economic growth and industrialization both are dependent on the availability of
    energy. But today the problem is that world energy sources are fast depleting and this fast
    depleting energy resources have put the world in a grip of energy crisis so this is the time to
    take steps to conserve the non-renewable sources energy and also find the alternative sources
    of energy or another way is to tap or harness the solar energy.
    Need to conserve energy resources:Many of the developed Western-European countries and
    Japan depends a great extent on imports of energy resources to meet the bulk of their
    requirements. If such is the condition of industrially and technologically advanced countries
    on can imagine the condition of underdeveloped countries. These days the main sources of
    energy are coal, natural gas and mineral oil and some countries even have developed capacity
    to produce hydro-electric and nuclear energy to some extent. But their consumption in
    factories and automobiles is increasing in such manner that it would not take mankind more
    than a hundred years to use up all the known resources on earth. Hence the need to conserve
    the resources and use of available domestic resources is gaining momentum.
    Conventional and Non-Conventional Energy:There are two types of resources, there are
    conventional and non-conventional. Bulk of the non-conventional supplies come from
    vegetable wastes, firewood, cow dung, besides mechanical energy derived from animal
    power and manpower. Among the primary sources of conventional energy coal and oil are the
    most dominant while electricity generated from coal and oil is the principal secondary source
    of conventional energy in India. Hydro power has also gained importance. Besides, solar
    energy is an important renewable non-polluting source of energy which can be harnessed
    most economically.
    Solar Energy:Much research is going on all over the world on solar energy. According to Dr.
    Denis Hayes, a solar energy enthusiast, the sun could be used for providing directly half of
    Americas total energy needs. Since energy crisis is a common problem the nations of the
    world have decided to focus attention on it. They decided to meet every year in the World
    Energy Conference. This co-operative effect can certainly help to meet the challenge and save
    the world from the threat of energy crisis.
    Other sources of energy:Another interesting development has been the growing potential of
    natural gas the world over as gases represent more energy than oil. One of the recent
    developments is that of biogas or gobargas. Besides, research is being carried out to harness
    solar energy, produce power from tidal waves ocean waves and wind. In fact Indias first
    wave energy project is fast coming up at Vizhingam, 15 km away from Trivandrum.
    Conclusion:So as the position of nation stands by us, we should take immediate steps to
    develop alternate non-conventional sources of energy to be ready to face the challenge
    tomorrow.
