Question

what are the environmental consequences of the increasing demand for energy?what step would you suggest to reduce energy consumption.
This is the ques of science ncert class 10 chapter 14 sources of energy.

Answer 1

Exploiting any source of energy disturbs the environment in some way or the other. The source we would choose depends on factors such as the case of extracting energy from that source, the economics of extracting energy from the source, the efficiency of technology available and the environmental damage that will be caused by using that source.

We cannot depend on the fossil fuels for much longer. If we manage biomass by replacing the trees we cut down for firewood, we can be assured of a constant supply of energy at a particular rate. Renewable energy is available in our natural environment, in the form of some continuing or repetitive current of energy, or is stored in such large underground reservoirs that the rate of depletion of reservoirs because of extraction of usable energy is practically negligible.

Answer 2

the demand of energy is increasing due to the industry all over the world their energy obtained from fossil fuels the burning of fossil fuels cause air pollution and releases large amount of carbon dioxide which results in global warming this so we should reuse
