What is Global Energy Independence Day?
Every year on July 10th, Global Energy Independence Day raises the need for alternative forms of energy. In addition, the day provides opportunities to learn more about renewable energies, such as solar, wind, and geothermal..
Consider all of the items that require electricity on a daily basis. Our cars. Our cars. Your coffee maker. Your coffee maker. The heating and cooling system in our homes is controlled by our homes. Your wood-burning stove.. So many things that necessitate electricity are dependent on electricity. Every human being in the world uses about 78 million British thermal units (BTU) of energy per year, so it's no surprise that each human being in the world uses about 78 million British thermal units (BTU) of energy per year. This means that the entire population of the world uses over 575 quadrillion Btu of energy each year. (One BTU equals the amount of energy released in a single match.)
Oil, coal, and gas are three of the most common sources of energy that people use. These forms of energy are also known as fossil fuels. There are several issues with fossil fuels. They will eventually run out, according to one of them. Other fossil fuel issues include air and water pollution, land degradation, and global warming. Scientists are finding newer forms of energy that can be recharged as a result of these challenges. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, and geothermal are all examples of energy.
Renewable energies are the only way to achieve energy independence, according to some. This is impossible to do, unfortunately. A lack of information about how these energy sources work and then how much money they cost for the customer are among the reasons for this. The inability of doing so is one of the biggest barriers in switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. This is why awareness of renewable energies is so critical.
