In times as now, when the world ismoving towards an impending energy

crisis, promoting public understanding andawareness about different kinds of energygeneration, dissemination and theirconsumption has become important. Whilethe nations appetite for electricityconsumption is growing at a steady rate,the resources are getting scarce every

day.

In the wake of this crisis, it becomesessential to educate consumers about

energy and its rightful usage, and thenecessary steps that consumers shouldtake to reduce their demand for electricityas well as their sky-high energy bills.

Because of the limited amount ofnonrenewable energy sources on Earth, it

is important to conserve our currentsupply or to use renewable sources sothat our natural resources will be availablefor future generations. Energyconservation is also important becauseconsumption of nonrenewable sourcesimpacts the environment. pecifically, our

use of fossil fuels contributes to air andwater pollution.

!or e"ample, carbon dio"ide is producedwhen oil, coal, and gas combust in power

stations, heating systems, and carengines. #arbon dio"ide in theatmosphere acts as a transparent blanketthat contributes to the global warming ofthe earth, or $greenhouse effect.$ It ispossible that this warming trend couldsignificantly alter the climate.

and work places, there is the growing need forcustomers to use electricity more efficiently.Indeed, this is a corporate as well as an

individual responsibility and there is always

the need for energy management in thehomes and work places to ensure ma"imumbenefit at a minimum cost to customers.dditionally, as the #ompany takes steps to

bring its electricity tariffs to economic levels,there is the need for consumers to useelectricity efficiently and avoid waste.

'se lower wattage bulbs in area that donot need bright lights e.g. storage rooms

and bath rooms.+ever use clusters of incandescent lamps

for decorations.

!or offices with low occupancy rates,install simple electronics controls such aspassive infer red sensors. hey ensurethat lights are automatically switched off

when rooms are not occupied for morethan a pre ; determined period.

oo many outside lights do not necessarilyprovide security. Infra-red sensors or

motion detectors are a more energyefficient solution.When you remove a dead fluorescent

Conclusion

o make sure we have plenty of energy inthe future, it$s up to all of us to useenergy wisely. We must all conserveenergy and use it efficiently. It$s also up tothose who will create the new energytechnologies of the future.he future isours, but we need energy to get there.
