Due
to the ever-increasing accessibility of renewable energy sources and the
steeply rising prices of their fossil fuel counterparts, the production of
green energy around the houses seems to be the most practical way to go. As of
2008, a total of 19% of the world’s energy needs is supplied by these renewable
energy sources. Green energy is generally defined as those that meet the
present demands of energy consumption with little or no polluting by-products,
thus preserving the environment for the benefit of future generations. An
option is provided by several electricity retailing companies for consumers to
purchase green energy; however, this does not necessarily ensure the delivery
of green energy into your home. In some countries, only as little as 2-5% of
the total energy pool comes from renewable sources.
But as the adverse environmental effects of burning fossil fuels continue to
influence renewable energy sources to become cheaper and more reliable, systems
have emerged that allow efficient sustainable energy production even in homes.
From photovoltaic cells that harness solar power, to wind turbines, to local
hydro-electric and geothermal sources, options are available to bring green
energy around the houses of those dissatisfied with the third-party grid
approach. After the infrastructure for the harnessing of these resources is
built, the fuel is free forever, the only other expenses being in the area of
maintenance. This essentially brings to the consumer a one-time payment for
unlimited energy resources.
Clean energy investment is projected to grow from $77.3B in 2007 to $254.5B in
2017. This growth, remarkable for a ten-year period, is a testament to the
practicality of investing on sources of green energy around the houses of
people. Click Here!
