Scientists
use
RESEARCH
&
MONITORING
to uncover how different energy resources affect the planet.
They can detect issues like
pollution
& suggest ways to lessen these effects.
SCIENCE
plays a crucial role in pinpointing
environmental
problems caused by energy use.
CARBON CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY
:
A method to trap
CO2
emissions from factories before they reach the atmosphere, helping to combat
GLOBAL WARMING
.
Environmental problems - POLITICAL:
Governments need to create & enforce
LAWS
that protect the environment.
So they might limit
harmful
emissions or support
clean energy
projects.
Environmental problems - social:
People have to back efforts to use
energy
wisely & support
green
initiatives.
Public opinion can push for changes like recycling programs or buying electric cars.
Environmental problems - ethical:
It's about being
FAIR
.
It's not right if one country gets all the clean energy while another suffers pollution.
Or if future generations inherit a damaged earth because of our energy choices today.
Environmental problems - economic:
Environmental solutions must be
COST-EFFECTIVE
.
If a green technology is too
expensive
, it won’t be used widely.
Economies need solutions that are
AFFORDABLE
to make a lasting change.
Science gives us the tools to identify & fix
environmental
issues from
energy use
. However, for these solutions to work, they need to be backed by:
supportive policies
public approval
moral responsibility
economic
practicality
