We should have alternative energy sources

Almost every country of the entire world is in search of finding ways to generate as much electricity as it can adapt all the possible methods even if some of them are obviously harmful for the future of mankind. And despite of all these efforts to increase the generation it is not enough to meet the requirement but it still falls well short of actual demand.

Obviously the demand of electricity will increase with the growing global population touching almost 8 billion. However, the fact is that any amount of increased production of power will reach to the population getting richer by the day and not to the people who are in actual need in poor countries.

There is no doubt about the fact that hundreds of millions people will earn better than what they are earning today with multiple programs working in these directions so they will be in a position to have a better reach to the use of electricity as well. That will further increase the consumption of power hence the need of more generation.

Now, let’s give a look at the power generation options which are mainly limited to oil/gas or coal. Therefore, if we have to reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere the most talked and discussed topic in recent time then the time has come we should look at alternative sources of energy without any delay. Although, the nations are working in this direction but the fact there is lot that has yet to be done.

When we talk about alternative of gas/oil and coal then what else we have atomic energy, wind or solar? The problem with all the alternatives energy sources like wind and solar is the cost factor. Solar power could be one of the best alternatives for most countries in Asia and Africa but the production cost is the deterring factor which is almost 2-3 times more than conventional power production.

However, there is no alternative but to go for costly alternatives of energy sources to save this world.
