Energy[edit] Aralvaimozhy railway station in Kanyakumari District with a view of wind farm Starting from the second quarter of 2010‚ the total energy demand in Tamil Nadu state is increasing exponentially[citation needed] and the state government is helpless to cut off power supply to an vast extent to the consumers. The complete state (except Chennai city‚ the capital) suffers a power cut for more than 11 hours a day. The city of Chennai only has 2 hours of power cuts a day.[citation needed]

Over the past few decades‚ our world has been facing massive changes caused by human activities. Humanity has advanced in technology and as a result we have lots of new utilities which we did not have fifty years ago. Such as‚ cellphones‚ computers‚ rapid transportation‚ advanced machines. As you can understand‚ these technological devices are in a voracious hunger of energy. People use those devices happily and comfortably at the same time count themselves lucky to have them. However‚ they rarely

This paper states why energy insecurity is a problem in Indonesia‚ how it was identified‚ its causes and the current responses to solve this problem. The engineering solutions would focus on sustainability and affordability‚ without compromising future generation energy needs in Indonesia. International Energy Agency defines energy security as the “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at affordable prices”. Currently Indonesia faces the lack of long term energy security. This is evident

Each year fossil fuels pollute the earth and in turn contribute to global warming. Pollution from fossil fuels is harmful to humans‚ ecosystems‚ as well as the overall environment. Fossil fuels pollute streams‚ rivers and even vast areas of the ocean. Just recently there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; this spill caused the deaths of

work on. Abstract: Bangladesh’s energy infrastructure is quite small‚ insufficient and poorly managed. The per capita energy consumption in Bangladesh is one of the lowest (136 kWH) in the world. Noncommercial energy sources‚ such as wood‚ animal wastes‚ and crop residues‚ are estimated to account for over half of the country’s energy consumption. Bangladesh has small reserves of oil and coal‚ but very large natural gas resources. Commercial energy consumption is mostly natural gas (around 66%)

the demand of energy in Pakistan as a result of industrial development and population growth‚ as compared to increase in energy production. The number of energy consumers has increased to 12.5 million: household 46 per cent‚ industry 28 per cent‚ agriculture 12 per cent‚ bulk supply nine per cent and commercial five per cent. For faster economic growth‚ Pakistan need more generation. Supply of energy is‚ therefore‚ far less than actual demand‚ resultantly crisis has emerged. An energy crisis can be

our energy and power sources. Green energy is a term used for sources of power and energy that are environmentally friendly. Basically this includes anything that is renewable energy. Renewable energy is considered energy that is constantly being replaced such as wood‚ vegetable matter‚ and trash. Green energy ’s main focus is to use sources that can cut down on pollution. Some of these sources of power and energy are Biomass energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydropower‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ wind

Running Off the Beaten Path Section I Old energy‚ that which comes from fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources‚ is now outdated. The costs are becoming tremendous and despite their reliability in the past cannot be depended upon for consistency or reliability. Contemporarily‚ efficiency is most important; getting the most out of everything we use. Most official energy forecasts assume massive growth rates in energy demand (Anderson). Renewables won ’t succeed unless we do efficiency first
