No matter what source of energy is used, increasing demand would disturb the environment in some way or the other.
Either it would cause more pollution or cause environmental damage. Development and consumption of energy would go together.
Therefore, We should concentrate more on finding better and alternative sources of energy. When looking for alternative sources, the following points should be kept in mind —
- Ease and cost of extracting energy from the source.
- The efficiency of the available technology.
- Environmental impact of using that source.
