The future generation may not have sufficient resources as compared to the present generation.why?give one reason
Answers
Answer:
Present sources of energy in India are coal, petroleum, natural gas, solar energy, wind energy,
hydel power, electricity, wood for fire, cow dung etc. Most of these are non-renewable sources of
energy which may get exhausted after some time. These are available in limited quantities. The
present rate of consumption is higher than the rate at which these resources are being replenished
and should be preserved for our future generations.
In fifty years' time, India may depend largely on non conventional sources of energy which are
available in abundance such as solar energy, hydel energy, wind energy etc. The total hydel power
potential in India is estimated at 1,50,000 MW of which only one-sixth has been developed so
far.
1. Development of a country needs to be continuous. Every country would like to have the level of
development go up further.
2. Many scientists have warned that the present levels of development cannot be sustained for the
future as the present rate of consumption of both renewable and non-renewable resources is very
high. Rapid industrialisation has led to environment degradation.
3. Sustainability development aims at development without damaging the environment and at the
same time conserving for the future.
4. Sustainability of development is essential not only for the present generation but also for future
generations to ensure a good life.
