GREEN ENERGY GIVES A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

The Inventions mankind did were always to reduce difficulty and for a better tomorrow. Unfortunately, the greedy nature of some humans has turned well-intended inventions into a means of pollution rather than a means of satisfying needs. To deal with the pollution our scientists found healthy alternatives which were classified as GREEN ENERGY. Let's dive into green energy for a better understanding.

WHAT IS GREEN ENERGY

An energy type generated from natural resources is green energy. It often comes from renewable energy such as wind, water and sunlight. They don't harm the environment by releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. 

These sources are often produced locally and are not get affected by Geo-political crises. This provides stable energy prices and an edge to green energy over its alternatives in the market. Green energy represents a low-cost energy solution. Also, they are accessible in remote areas. Types of green energy are:

ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN GREEN ENERGY 

The carbon footprint can be dramatically reduced if the local government starts purchasing or directly generating electricity from renewable sources. They can lead to an example by doing so. Local government schools use combinations of green energy alternatives to meet goals. 

Green energy certificates, Renewable energy certificates are playing a vital role and should be promoted more by local government. These certificates represent the technology and environmental attributes of electricity produced from renewable sources. 

On-site generation of green energy by local government will lead to

• Job creation
• Supply reliability 
• Improve power quality
• Hedge against Geo political impact on prices 

WHY FOSSIL FUELS ARE RENEWABLE SOURCE YET NOT A GREEN ENERGY SOURCE

• To be classified as green energy resources should not produce pollution and fossil fuel being a renewable source of energy has pollution generation.

• Sources of green energy are naturally replenished as opposed to fossil fuels (natural gas, coal) which take millions of years to develop.

• Green energy sources avoid activity which harms the ecosystem like mining or drilling operations.

CONCLUSION

There is every reason which makes us believe that green energy will phase out fossil fuels in future. In the decades coming green energy can replace fossil fuels with varied production from different means. 

This is necessary to mitigate climate change. Still, we are some years away from this happening. However green energy adoption is essential for a sustainable future.
