Future of Energy and young people

       Energy is a main demand for individuals and the society. Energy is a slogan for progress and prosperity, through energy we can build generations, reconstruct our homeland and stand against terrorism and backwardness using science and development as our weapons. We should teach our generations the attitude of sincerity and perfect and keep the public properties safe and clean in everywhere. Allah gave us energy to use it in a good way to help us in our life. Energy is used in all fields of life such as: industry, agriculture and commerce. We must use energy in a good and safe way because energy will not last forever and will come to an end. There are two kinds of energy renewable energy and non-renewable energy. Renewable energy like air , water and the sun. Non-renewable energy like petrol, gas and coal. So, we should move towards using alternative sources of energy before it becomes late and face fatal problems in the near future. In an era where depletion of fossil fuels a major problem and pollution an even bigger issue, it is only the alternate sources of energy which can meet the energy requirements of the future.

Alternate sources of energy include solar,wind,tidal and thermal energy.In solar energy energy from the sun is converted into other usable forms of energy using solar panels,mirrors etc.Wind energy uses the energy of moving airtidal enegy uses the energy of the movement of water during high and low tides and thermal eneregy uses the energy stored in the earth in various forms like, hot springs, geysers etc.

Even though a lot of research has gone into it the main reason why we are still dependant on fossil fuels is due to the high cost of such technologies and in the case of certain cases, to the lack of these technologies.

There is also problems due to the lack of efficiency of such systems and the lack of awareness about such systems.

It is important that people know that these alternate sources can lead to much more cleaner,cheaper and safer energy sources.The day is not far when these sources will herald a new revolution in energy production. Due to the predicted shortage of fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy sources, research is now looking at alternatives. These alternatives are known as renewable energy. Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat, which can be naturally replenished. If the use of renewable energy isn't explored for future use, we may be living without appliances we take for granted today. For example, imagine a winter without a heater and a summer without air-conditioning, and day-to-day life without televisions, cars, washing machines, even lights. The earth could get to a stage where it was so severely scarred from people trying to find more energy sources, that the damage is irreversible. With the current consumption rate of non-renewable energy, this scenario may very well be the state of the planet in future years.

Hence, this paper will explore the use of the alternate energy source, solar power for present and future use. The advantages and disadvantages of the energy source will be discussed, in relation to its technological, economical, viability factors. In doing so, the paper will attempt to prove that not only is solar energy as an alternate energy source better for the environment, but also verify that it is better for our economy in the long run.

Finally, young people should keep the energy that we have today and do not waste it through careless deeds on land, water and the air. All of us should respect the international laws and rules to protect the environment from any danger may damage it.
