Power Plants of Energy (what causes and how to conserve)

A. There many ways of causes but few are these.

1. particulates released into the atmosphere resulting in increased asthma and breathing problems.
2. dumping of warm water into rivers causes temperature rise and disturbs wildlife .
3. some fuels contain radioactive material, burning these fuels mean more radiation in the atmosphere.

we see  there are various detrimental affects on the environment due to power generation. So what to do about this? We cannot stop electricity production altogether, but must strive to limit the energy used in our homes. This way less electricity is produced and burning of fossil fuel is controlled. According to the Census of Electricity Establishment, tn the fiscal year 2004-2005 the domestic sector globally consumed 43% of the total energy consumption. The industrial sector came second with 26% This shows us that if every household becomes more energy conscious and conserves a little electricity, we can together save a lot of energy.

   
.
B. There are several ways to conserve energy.
1. Turn off appliances that are nor in use E.G. ceiling fans, monitor screens and TV's.
2. Turn of lights in rooms that are not needed.
3. Use natural light wherever possible . Another advantage of doing so is that human productivity increases in natural daylight.
4. Replace conventional bulbs with energy savers.
5. Turn off and disconnect appliances which go into stand-by mode. An estimated  5 to 10%of household energy consumption is due to stand-by mode. ''In the average home, 75%  of the electricity used to power home electronics the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are switched off.''
6. Properly insulate your homes so that, in winters homes stay warm and in summers, cool.
7. Allow a wider temperature range. For the human body 30c  is the upper limit pf comfort and 20c the lower limit. Temperatures outside this range are deemed uncomfortable for humans.
