At present, most of our energy comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). However, reserves are limited. Because demand for electricity is rising rapidly, fossil fuels will be exhausted in a relatively short time. Therefore, people must develop and use alternative energy sources.
An alternative energy source is nuclear power. Nuclear power can provide enough electricity for the needs of the world for hundreds of years, but it can be very dangerous. An alternative source of geothermal energy comes from deep within the earth. Scientists use heat to generate energy. However, this energy is only available in some parts of the world.
Sun, water and wind are alternative sources of energy. Wind rotating the windmill and moving the sailboat. It's a clean source and a lot of energy. Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy. As water moves from one place to another, it makes energy. However, people have to build dams to use this energy source. The dams cost a lot of money, so water is expensive too.
The sun releases large amounts of energy each day. This energy can be converted into electricity. Many countries use solar energy for their daily lives. Solar panels on the roof can generate enough energy to heat or cool the entire home. Solar energy is not only abundant and infinite but also clean and safe.
Ngắn gọn hơn: There are some tips to save power which I think are very easy to apply. Firstly, we should use energy saving light bulbs in our house. It will help us to reduce our electricity bill. Secondly, we should use public transport if we need to go long distance. We can use bicycles for short distances. I think it is good for our health and economical. And remember, before going to bed, we should turn off all lights and other unused electrical devices. It's an easy way to save our planet.
