Clean Energy

Sustainable Energy - an overview 

Here is the latest blog from Nhamo Matsvimbo. Our world is going through a transition. Wind and solar are powering a clean energy revolution. Many of the initiatives to use clean energies are embraced in multiple countries. Some of them are backed by governments and private industries looking to preserve our planet and fix some of the damage caused by our constant demands of resources. Many people believe that individual efforts don’t count. The fact is that every single bit of help they can get adds up a lot.

As renewable use continues to grow, a key goal will be to modernize the electricity grid, making it smarter, more secure, and better integrated across regions.

Today, solar-powered technologies are also used to heat homes and businesses, to warm water, or power devices. Solar energy systems also don’t produce air pollutants or greenhouse gases, and as long as they are responsibly sited, most solar panels have few environmental impacts beyond the manufacturing process.

We’ve also come a long way from old-fashioned windmills. Today, wind energy turns a turbine’s blades, which feeds an electric generator and produces electricity. Hydropower is also the largest renewable energy source for electricity, though wind energy is soon expected to take over the lead.

 If you’ve ever relaxed in a hot spring, you’ve used geothermal energy. Geothermal energy has many advantages says Nhamoinesu Matsvimbo. For instance, it is renewable and also very safe for the environment. It does not pollute the environment unlike coal and other energy sources. However, the advantages are usually greater than the disadvantages especially when used for a long period, Nhamoinesu Matsvimbo added. Geothermal energy is much more efficient than other sources of energy.

Advocating for renewables, or using them in your home, can accelerate the transition toward a clean energy future.
