Evergreen Solar Power
[Articles Home]
Evergreen power is energy that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to generate the power they need or causing harm to the environment. In a world where population and energy needs are constantly growing, we MUST invest in our ability to increase power generation in a manner that will allow our children to benefit as well.
Sustainable evergreen energy sources are most often regarded as including all renewable sources:
- solar power
- biofuels
- wind power
- wave power
- geothermal power
- tidal power.
We also includes technologies that improve energy efficiency. Conventional fission power is sometimes called evergreen or sustainable, but there are concerns about our ability to provide fuel for the increased demand. Also, with concerns about storing waste and the possibility of a disaster, we do not have it in our list.
Looking into the future we should work to develop the energy resources that will serve not only our needs but the needs of our children. Without harming the environment. The bright side of this is that many of our renewable power sources often have a great return on investment, and once the initial costs are recovered the benefits are great.
