Greening of Energy
Description
Although renewable energies are seen as clean and green, their development can often be cause of conflict as local residents are opposed to their impact on the visual landscape. Some technologies are also limited by weather and climate. This program uses examples from the U.K., India, and Europe to examine the pros and cons of a variety of renewable energy sources. It includes a discussion of energy de-carbonization and explores the importance of reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency. Wind, solar, tidal, hydro-electric, biomass, and biogas technologies are considered, as well as energy security and the transition from fossil fuels.
