As far as we have known, the invention of the internal combustion engine and its use in automobiles and trucks greatly increased the demand for gasoline and diesel oil, both made from fossil fuels. Other forms of transportation, railways and aircraft, also required fossil fuels.
Today, we know what is the relation between greenhouse effect and fossil fuel consumption. When you burn fossil fuels the relating output is HEAT + WASTE GASES. The waste gases can be of several type depending on the hydro-carbon. Carbon dioxide, Nitrous Oxides, and water vapor are listed as greenhouse gases, which have affected us in variety of serious ways.
First of all, what I put in my priority is energy efficiency. It means using less energy to get the same job done. When I looked at the article "As Government Bans Regular Light Bulbs, LED Replacements Will Cost $50 Each" published May 17, 2011 in www,foxnews.com, it said that two leading makers of lighting products are showcasing LED bulbs that are bright enough to replace energy-guzzling 100-watt light bulbs set to disappear from stores in January. "The technology in traditional "incandescent" bulbs is more than a century old. Such bulbs waste most of the electricity that feeds them, turning it into heat. The 100-watt bulb, in particular, produces so much heat that it's used in Hasbro's Easy-Bake Oven. LEDs are efficient, durable and produced in great quantities, but they're still expensive." Thus, this process of saving energy requires people to understand more about energy savings rather than the cost of each.
In the second analysis, what draws my attention is conservation. Unplugging is simply an easy way for everybody to do. Besides, there are a lot of ways to conserve energy rather than waste it, one of the most effective ways is Recycling, which brings a lot of benefits to our environment.
Last but not least, what I would love to mention is clean energy, or renewable energy, including solar energy, wind energy, ocean energy, geothermal energy, and hydrogen energy. Why are those sources very important? Renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Renewable energy will not run out. Ever. Other sources of energy are finite and will some day be depleted.
Of course, as a result, it also creates job and supports the economy!
