Building a "Greener" Future

Make our planet green

The problem of using green technologies became very important in the year 2000. As minerals were about to be exhausted and the world was on the brink of a technological disaster, one had to look for the alternative sources of generating energy. The purpose of the paper shared by https://bestwritingservice.com/ is to show what changes have been made recently and how green technologies have changed the way people live since 2000.

The sources we used in order to get energy and everything that we need around our habitat were likely to be exhausted by the human activity. The special machines that took part in making things that we needed provided a negative impact on the environment, and sometimes even did not justify one’s hopes. Thus, it was clear to understand that the green technologies would be of high importance in this situation. The technologies have taken a few important aspects in everyday life. One of them has been to offer the development of alternative fuels and the new ways of generating energy. It has been achieved with the wind and solar power. In order to understand some changes, one has to take a more profound look at the green technologies and the way they changed people’s life.

Thus, innovations have led to the environmental benefits, reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, as a result. Hence, as it is possible to see today, it has changed all the nuclear power stations that caused the major damage to the Earth. Besides, going over to using wind and solar power will probably significantly reduce the possibility of disasters and all the aftermaths. As a result, today everybody works in the streets without worrying about having another “Chernobyl”. It has led to the fact that people no longer have serious health problems caused by technological disasters. Incidentally, it is possible to notice some changes, which have been done in order to implement the idea. Thus, in order to obtain the wind power, one has created special areas where the windmills have been installed. And it was rather reasonable. Firstly, windmills have been noisy and land-intensive. Secondly, they required a lot of territory. Hence, nobody thought that wind farms might disturb him/his business as it had been since 2000. For instance, two of the biggest wind “farms” in Europe had as many as 159 turbines and cover the area of thousands of acres. Today it works and generates energy, which is enough to meet the needs of the people throughout the world. Nowadays wind farms are built in the areas, where the possibility of crossing the migratory birds routes is very little. Therefore, one can get no danger that a lot of birds may perish, however, these negative effects prevented from installing plenty of wind farms in the past.

Another alternative source of generating energy is the solar power. Once all the nuclear stations have switched to the solar panels, things have changed for the better. Thus, one of the main improvements was the reduction of the energy cost. It has been estimated that solar power is 40% cheaper than that generated by the nuclear power stations. Therefore, it leads to the fact that people save nearly half of their money today that was due to be spent on the payment for energy. One could not have noticed this since 2000. Solar power has become so popular these days that it is used in everything. Consequently, one gets the special areas for installing such solar panels. Apart from that, the result of the idea is well worth it. For instance, there is a square patch of desert about 92 miles long that is connected to the solar technology. It was said to generate enough electricity to cover the demand of the whole population of the USA. Utility-scale solar is probably the only way to achieve real scale and reduce our carbon emissions. As one can realize, the project did not took place then, however, the words of Khosla have been proved now by the results provided with the use of the solar power.

Therefore, it is obvious that one gets a lot of pluses as a result of the wind and solar power. Nobody uses nuclear power stations any longer. The places where the wind farms and solar panels located are far away from the human activity, so as to not disturb people. People go out and quietly engage in everyday activities, without worrying about possible technological disasters and their awful aftermaths. They live in the world where a negative impact on the environment never occurs. They do not think about whether minerals would be enough to satisfy their own needs. Thus, it is possible to come to the conclusion that the way people have lived since 2000, has changed for the better.
