Energy efficiency, sustainable energy or sustainable energy efficiency? What is it all about? Here, I’m talking about the way energy is used in this world and varies among the variety of species living in Nature. But are humans the only group of those species to have created a problem with it? Why we need to constantly create a new ways to harvest energy to its maximum potential? We need to survive. When trying to come up with the idea to understand the notion about how we use energy in our daily lives, it brings us to a different perspective on this issue. It’s not about the type of energy we need but how we consume energy in the first place. The very first thought of some activity that you are about to put your energy in, is more essential to everybody else around you, than the type of energy you use for your utilities. One might think now that the whole idea is completely reversed. But is it? Isn’t the most effective input output ratio the most important issue in energy? Does it matter at all how we harvest energy in our own lives compared with the use of energy for utilities? If yes, the question then is about harvesting energy in our own lives. But what about our output then? How do you spread around that energy you have produced? And more importantly what type of energy is that then? Do I have a choice on what type of energy I can receive from you? What about your energy waste? Does it pollute your immediate atmosphere? Is it worth to make your energy sustainable? Perhaps now the point of view on energy have change a bit from where this all started. You should now come up with the ideas for saving energy or making it more efficient much more easily. Right? You just control your input output ratio, it will be all fine. But why does it get so difficult with energy when humans are handling machines? Skipping the obvious laws in Physics and Chemistry that brings the limitations, and the solutions for developing various types of energy that are self-sufficient. What do we gain by that? But are we talking about the same definition of energy anymore? What is energy? Is it simply put something that we only use or consume? You have breakfast every morning. Then you have lunch, dinner and perhaps an evening snack. But do you use the energy from the food you eat? Or do you just naturally consume energy as you go along the way? Do we consume the energy that is in the wind or use the energy got from the wind? So, what is energy now? Is it something that is better to efficiently use it or just sustainably consume it? |
