subject: Switching To Renewable Energy Sources [print this page] In the past few years, the demand for energy has really gone through the roof all over the world. This is because the many countries which were in the stage of infancy in the latter stages of the twentieth century, hit a major industrial curve at the turn of the century. This has resulted in the developing economies of the world really shooting towards more and more energy resources. This has also been the reason for a few unethical and irresponsible steps being taken by the governments of these countries as they strive to keep up with the growing appetite of their industrial sector.
We are all versed about the different drawbacks of burning fuel for the generation of electricity. What with all the carbon being pumped into the environment by the man of today, we are staring at dire environmental state of the future of our environment. Hence there needs to be fast measures taken so that we do not continue to pollute and basically savage the environment that is nothing more than a debt that we owe to our children. The basic way that we can do this is by conferring with each other and deciding on many other scientific methods of creating cheap energy which in turn also does not cause a lot of harm to the environment.
Well if we do a very simple green electricity price comparison to that of the methods currently being used, it is quite evident that it is a win situation for us all if we implement it. For example, if we go ahead and apply the renewable resources fueled electricity generation plan, we will be saving in a lot of departments. Provided, that when we do the green electricity price comparison we will be put off by the slightly more expensive cost of installation than the fossil fuel driven generation set but as we move ahead from this we can see that the cost of the green project is going to be much less than that compared of the fossil fuel driven project.
This is basically down to the fact that the fossil fuel one requires a lot of fuel to keep it operational and the fuel prices, due to the recent hike in demand and the plummeting reserves, have soared to unexpected levels which makes it very hard to sustain a fossil fuel generation unit. However when you are going to be forking out a little bit extra for the green electricity unit, you can see that the savings that you make on the fuel costs are really going to mean that the premium that you paid in the first place for the project is really something that is going to be repaid back to you in a very short duration of time.
Furthermore if you make another green electricity price comparison you will also see that the long term success of your green generation set is much more than the conventional one. Because if you are going to be thinking about long term as in a decade or two in the future, there are possibilities that legislation may be moved which means that your fossil fuel generation set would be rendered illegal. Similarly, maybe there is going to be a lot of moral pressure on you from all the stakeholders that you discontinue using this. At this time, the demand for green electricity will soar which will mean a significant price hike so it is quite advisable that you buy one today as compared to ordering one when everyone is doing it and paying a lot more than you could now.
