A Vision for the Decade (2014-2024) of Sustainable Energy for All

All achievements of human beings depend on energy. For instance, energy lights our cities, energy powers our vehicles, trains, planes and rockets, energy warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on television, energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm. When we eat, our bodies transform the energy stored in the food into energy to do work.

                        

With these facts I can say that mankind took billions of years to reach the peak where we stand now due to the conversion of energy from more useful to less useful forms. As all of us know most of the earth energy comes from the sun. People make use of energy in day and night to spend the luxury lives because energy releases as heat, sound, light etc. Energy makes people’s lives richer, more productive, safer and healthier to sustain while performing important activities and pass that via unusable energy forms. Energy is a fundamental key ingredient in the modern economy.

The studies of history reveal that the great civilization tried to survive by using fossil fuel sources. Fossil fuel for energy is one of the main debated issues at present because fossil fuels are not renewable, they can't be made again. Once they are gone, they're gone. As young generation, we must replenish the energy to run machines to make lives easier. With the industrial revolution human-being started consuming fuels faster than the planet can fill them. But now there is a serious talk on reaching the peak production of these energy foundations.

Energy ties into economic growth. We know that energy demand will increase significantly in the future. These are some of the considerable finding to sustain energy for all. In developed economies, energy demand will remain essentially smooth while in developing countries, energy demand will grow. Growing electricity demand will remain as the peak by 2024. Natural gas will be the fastest-growing major fuel. Gains in efficiency across economies worldwide through energy-saving practices and technologies will significantly reduce demand growth and curb emissions. In 2024, global energy demand will be about 40% higher compared to current year as economic output more than doubles and prosperity expands across a world whose population will grow to nearly ten billion people.

As oil wells reach peak oil no longer freely discharges out of the ground. It becomes increasingly difficult and expensive to pull to the surface. Therefore the energy is a pressure, since the population growth in each year rapidly and considerably.  Energy demand for the human is growing because they desire to sustain and improve the well-being of themselves, their families etc.

Through the decade 2014-2024, population and economic growth will drive demand higher, but the world will use energy more efficiently and shift toward lower-carbon fuels. Therefore the necessity of fossil fuels is increasing to perform work. The earth’s resources are in the unsustainable qualities (physical limits) to perform the activities at any given time. Current trend statistics show that population will hit peak production within present generation's lifetime.

Based on the unquestionable statement fossil fuels needed to sustain current standards of living, it needs to exceed the ability of the earth to stimulate its stores of energy. I like to conclude that energy is the most relevant issue of today. Meeting the growing demand for energy in a safe and environmentally friendly manner is a key challenge. So that we should think how we can help in this matter. Energy provides us supply and demand while powering industries such as transport etc.

The sunlight falling on one country in one day contains more than twice the energy that we consume in an entire year. The importance of sustainable energy provides many benefits for environment, for future generations, for job creation and energy security. Clean energy sources can be connected to produce electricity and process heat, fuel and valuable chemicals with less effect on the environment.

In contrast, emissions from cars powered by fuel and factories that burn oil will affect the atmosphere. Foul air results in so-called greenhouse gases which are known as co2 emissions from energy-related sources. Sustainable energy technologies do not emit any greenhouse gases in order to make the world a cleaner and safer place while avoiding and reducing air emissions as well as water consumption, waste, noise and adverse land-use impacts.

All energy sources have an impact on the environment. Concerns about the greenhouse effect, global warming, air pollution, and energy security have started developing renewable energy sources. But we need to continue to use fossil fuels and nuclear energy until new technologies can replace them. To bright our future we need energy.

But there are also drawbacks to renewable energy development. Even if we wanted to switch to solar energy right away, we still have a big problem. And the cost of producing that much of electricity would be about four times more expensive than a regular natural gas-fired power plant. Even though the renewable power plant doesn't release air pollution or use expensive fossil fuels, it still has an impact on the environment.

Renewable energy will avoid reduction of fossil fuel reserves and will empower future generations to deal with the environmental impact of over-dependence on fossil fuels. Also as we all know renewable energy projects can bring economical benefits to remote communities for the reason that most of the plants are situated away from large cities. The development and installation of sustainable energy systems creates jobs, regional development and long term economic growth. Also minimize our dependence on fossil and imported fuels.

Renewable energy resource will result in new jobs and less oil has to buy from foreign countries. If we make use of renewable energy, we can achieve more afford today till future 2014-2024 decade than 25 years ago. Today's standards of living are unsustainable and many of the countries attempt to follow the path of industrialized countries to do major changes. Energy growth is directly linked to well-being and prosperity across the globe.

This will bring destruction of modern civilization or a new age of sustainability. This depends on the ability of people to accept an entirely different lifestyle while saving the energy for the future. Sustainable energy is now the key to a brighter future. And there are finite or limited amounts of these non-renewable energy sources. So, people must all do our part in saving as much energy as we can. In your home/ work-place you can save energy by turning off appliances, TVs and radios that are not being used, watched or listened to. You can turn off lights when no one is in the room. By putting lagging in walls and lofts, we can reduce the amount of energy it takes to heat or cool our homes.

The energy demand will double by 2014-2024 decade despite the fact that energy is sustainable and diverse. Also the energy is usage should be done more efficiently. We need to promote alternative environmentally friendly energy sources for the future generation. Energy resources become rare and climate change becomes an increasingly by pressing reality. If present trends continue, increasing energy demand will result in greater reliance on imported energy. The significance is likely to be an unpredictable energy supply and probably higher energy prices. 

Many things have changed the shape of the world as all of us know. But underlying them all supplying rich and relatively cheap supply of energy is little bit tricky. To make sure we have plenty of energy in the future, it's up to all of us to use energy wisely. We must all save energy and use it efficiently. It's also up to those who will create the new energy technologies of the future.
