Green Energy

today the world is moving towards green, from building to lifestyle to energy, everything is pushing towards a greener tomorrow for our own benefits as well as the future generations.

The term green energy should be familiar to most of you out there, you can easily see articles or advertisement in the newspaper everyday. But one might question why is it so important to turn green? Well the most generic answer will be to protect the environment from pollution etc.. However from my point of view, the main reason is very much due to the depletion of fossil fuels which are generally non-recyclable, meaning once they are consumed, they decrease in the volume. So as the world reserves are decreasing, that means the price will be increasing in the near future if not now, and that will be a thunder that strikes most of the consumers, especially to businessmen at a means of decreasing their profits. Remember this is just a game of number, and the results might be a huge one. In view of this, organisations and entrepreneurs started to fund for development or R&D for something that could overcome their worries. So After years of determination, engineers & scientists finally came out with green energy which are also known as renewable energy.

For sure, this is a great news to the funders because from the terms itself, the energy is basically free of charge since the main sources are usually the Sun, wind, wave, etc and you don't really have to pay to get them. For them, free means no expenditure and this will directly impact on the total income. The environmentalists were excited initially because this renewable energy is 'clean', however later they discovered that the energy used to process the devices are not actually pleasing. Imagine at the current state, most countries are still heavily depending on fossil fuel generated electricity, and every single energy comes from fossil fuel again.
