Alternative

Alt.Energy sources No undesired consequences

like emission of greenhouse gases ,waste
production,crude residues,etc

Low amounts of by-product after

use.
Renewable
Free energy sources

Why the need?

oil and mineral exploitation , humans pollute
the environment at an alarming rate.
80% of the minerals and fossil fuels are
used up by 20% of the worlds population.
Global Warming Effect.
retrofitting current technologies with
alternatives that have comparable or better
performance, but do not emit carbon
dioxide.

 "Greenland's ice contains 20% of the

fresh water of the whole planet. If it
melts, sea levels will rise by nearly
seven meters.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable, that
is, they draw on finite resources that
will eventually dwindle, becoming too
expensive or too environmentally
damaging to retrieve.

Problems with current energy

sources:
Finite with respect to geological time
Inefficient and leaves harmful
residues
Non renewable
Expensive and can be easily
monopolized

Alternative energy : Need of the

hour
The current pattern of commercial
energy-results in inequities, external
debt and environmental degradation
rural population and urban poor
continue to depend on low quality
energy sources and inefficient
devices, leading to low quality of life.

 "The future belongs to renewable energy

Inter conversion of energy in different forms
is the heart of conceptualizing renewable
energy as the practical means of energy
usage in human society.
Decentralized energy will not only mean
efficient systems and organizations but
ensure a better quality of life for the
comman masses.
