PROSPECTS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN PAKISTAN – WAY FORWARD CHAPTER - I INTRODUCTION “Energy is synonymous with civilisation. It is the lifeline for economic growth and development. The continuing volatility of fuel prices and conventional energy’s deep carbon foot print coupled with close nexus between water‚ energy‚ and food security has brought energy access and energy security issues into even sharper focus” - Asif Ali Zardari‚ President of Pakistan Today‚ only 55% of Pakistan’s population

Renewable energy‚ a source of energy that holds a significant promise to help reduce the amount of toxins that are by-product of too much energy use and bring a positive impact on our planet that we currently use as our source of energy.These include energy from water(Hydropower)‚ wind‚ the sun(solar power)‚ geothermal sources‚ and biomass fuel. In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable

Right now we don’t care about it‚ but in a few years we will be facing the consequences of global warming and energy absence. That is why Ecuador should start concerning itself about our future as a country and as responsible humans‚ by the use of renewable energy; the perfect solution to these

The energy sector in the UK is historically marked by it’s coal mines‚ then by oil and natural gas offshore in the North Sea. Nuclear power has also played a significant role and is under recovery. Finally‚ the United Kingdom for several years has a significant

TRADITIONAL ENERGY SOURCES SIDE BY SIDE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES: WHICH ONE IS MORE LIKELY TO WIN THE BATTLE WITHIN THE FOLLOWING DECADES? Assuming that the energy is a vital asset for the human being‚ it’s really hard to answer this question‚ because both of them have advantages and disadvantages. When I read for the first time this question I immediately thought that renewable energy sources would win‚ but then I realize that it can’t‚ because this kind of energy is not able to generate

Why renewable power sources are better than nuclear power? Nuclear power is the most productive power source. However‚ there are several ongoing debates around the efficiency and the usage of nuclear power. Several factors such as the catastrophes in Chernobyl and Fukushima and the depleting of coal and gas reserves have led to the idea behind the renewable power sources. The renewable power sources are the future of the energy production in the world. Renewable energy is the energy that

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. Wind energy is the energy from the wind

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
