Energy Crisis Management – Alternative Energy Resources is the Answer
By Anubha Pandey

Scientists all over the world are plagued with the problem of energy crisis. At individual level, very little is being done to overcome it. Natural resources are fast depleting. They are being sold at sky rocketing rates. Many are finding it difficult to manage their budget. But there’s no choice. Time is fast running out and we are yet to come up with an answer. It has become imperative now to look for alternative sources of energy.

Environmentalists have been plaguing our lives with the truth of diminishing resources. But we turned a deaf ear to all their pleas. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. No longer can we be lax about this issue. So let’s take a look at some of the resources that are available and can be optimized to suit our needs.

Two natural resources are here to our rescue; wind and sun. They are available in plenty and at no cost! Installing solar panels in houses can replace central air conditioning. Using solar cookers to prepare food can save on gas and electricity. If wind turbines are installed in plenty, power and electricity can be generated to run some electrical appliances. Putting all this in place is a little expensive. But we have to think of the long-term benefits that doing so offers.

Water is another resource that can be utilized to our advantage. Studies are being conducted on how to use water as fuel to run vehicles. Some experiments have been successful in burning water to produce energy to drive a car. However, these engine models need to be worked upon more to give them the perfect design. Biodiesel is yet another fuel that is easier to produce and cheaper to run. But the engines need to be fine tuned to accept them.

For a century we have known that energy crisis management is important.Plenty of options are available to us as alternate energy resources. We need to keep our eyes open and learn to use them efficiently and judiciously.
