BENEFITS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN DOMESTIC HOUSES

Renewable energy is energy generated from natural resources that are renewable, constantly replenished by nature such as sunlight, wind, rain and geothermal heat. All of these forms of renewable energy can be used as a cleaner source of energy in houses. As these forms of renewable energy can be harnessed to generate sufficient electricity even for the most demanding of houses and then some, the electricity generated from renewable resource would be clean, safe, environmentally friendly, cost effective and efficient.

“Our present happy progressive condition is a thing of limited duration”

William Stanley Jevons 1865

This quotation shows that as far back as the mid-1800s civilization knew the that worlds resources were not infinite and that one day they could run out, so for the past 150 years or so civilization could have been planning for this and looking for alternative types of energy such as renewable energy.

“Traditional Fossil fuels are running out, they are getting harder and more expensive to obtain, and their emissions are polluting our planet. Newer, greener, alternative, renewable, energy solutions are available today. Emerging technologies are making them more efficient, and more affordable, with shorter payback times. This makes them a viable alternative to traditional energy sources.

Energy costs have snowballed in recent years. U.K energy wholesale prices have risen by 100% for electricity, and 230% for Gas since February 2017. Coal has seen a, massive jump with a 400% increase in the last 10 years, from just £23 a ton in 1999 to £100 a ton in 2018. Oil prices have increased dramatically recently and are always prone to fluctuation. Oil has reached peak supply and increasing
