Geography Answer the question

• There are many energy resources which are environment-friendly, which are renewable and which aid in harnessing natural processes.
• When we use environment-friendly energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, energy from waste, etc.
• We are contributing towards environment conservation, preservation and protection.
• This will help in reducing the deterioration of environment due to use of non-eco friendly energy resources apart from reducing problems arising from pollution caused due to burning of fossil fuels and biomass energy, climate change, etc.
• Environment-friendly resources will not only lead to sustainable development but also provide energy security which is the need of the hour.

• The demand for energy resources is increasing due to growing population, urbanisation and growing needs of man.
• Energy resources are needed to prepare food, generate electricity, to propel vehicles and for other domestic and industrial needs.
• We engage in various activities to fulfill our needs, for which we need energy from natural resources.
• Our life will come to a standstill without resources like petrol, wind, natural gas, sunlight, besides other resources.

(ii) It is also used in cosmetics, medicines, paints, lubricants, etc.

• Energy resources must be used very carefully.
• The demand for energy is increasing all the time due to growing population, urbanisation and growing needs of man. ,
• It is necessary to use alternative and non- conventional energy resources to meet these needs.
• It is also necessary to use energy frugally.

• Splitting of the atoms of minerals like uranium and thorium can be used for power generation.
• In this process, using very small quantities of minerals, energy can be generated on a very large scale.

• Waste is generated daily on a very large scale in a big metropolitan cities.
• Waste disposal is a major problem in such places.
• This waste can be segregated to use the biotic component to generate gas which can be used to generate power.
• In the future, this may help to solve the problem of waste disposal in cities
