Conserving Energy to Save Money According to an article and graph published in The New York Times‚ “About 56 percent of all the energy that is produced in the United States is wasted” (Revkin). With all that energy being wasted‚ Americans cannot afford to waste much more. There are a number of things a homeowner can do around and to their household to conserve energy and save money at the same time. They can turn off unneeded electricity and try other sources‚ such as renewable energy to conserve

government’s energy policy is to reduce rapidly and radically the country’s dependence on fossil fuels and particularly on energy supplies provided from overseas. An ambitious target has been set for the development of renewable sources of energy‚ the current target being that a third of the total demand for electricity in England and Wales should be met from renewable sources by 2020. In 2010 it was estimated that approximately 6000 people were employed in the offshore renewable sector in the

Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and tidal barrages are better for the environment than nuclear power and fossil fuels. They also have the potential to last forever. So why are they not being used all over the world? A reason for this is because switching to renewable energy as a primary source would cost a lot of money. Some countries don’t think it is worth it‚ and others simply can’t afford to. There are also many nations that earn a vast amount of money from oil and coal‚ that wouldn’t

different sources of energy which can be used to generate electricity to sustain mankind and the economic activities. However‚ nuclear energy is considered as more reliable compared to other sources of energy. Moreover‚ energy sources can be classified as renewable and non-renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy sources are those which can be reused without depletion. Consequently‚ they cause less harm to the human health and less pollution to the environment.

The spurt in inventions in that century was unprecedented in many ways. Some of these inventions involved use of natural resources like coal and oil. The thought of exhaustible nature of these resources and the environmental damage from the use of these resources never occurred either to the inventors or the subsequent generations
