Question
'Energy saved is energy produced.' Assess the statement.
Solution
Conservation of energy is essential because it protects our environment from green house gas emission and also saves valuable resources from getting depleted. If we save energy then only more energy can be produced. It is essential to use non- conventional sources of energy.
Following are some measures to conserve energy resources:
(i.) We should try to use more and more public transport system instead of private vehicles.
(ii.) Electronic devices must be switched off when not in use.
(iii.) It is necessary to use more and more power saving devices.
(iv.) Reduce consumption of non- renewable sources of energy.
(v.) If possible solar power should be used to generate electricity.
