The Urgency for a Green Energy Revolution
摘要
Scientists and researchers concur that the state of our planet’s environment is more critical than ever before. Planet Earth’s ecosystems are agonizing, not only the natural world but also human health and livelihoods are impacted. The facts are laid bare before all people to see and acknowledge. Planet Earth, our home, is actually severely wounded. The situation is critical. The picture is near calamitous. Some of the harmful phenomena include rising Earth’s surface temperature; heat waves; droughts; wildfires; greenhouse gases; smog; hurricanes, floods, and landslides; accelerated loss of glacier and sea ice; etc. The situation is dire, with profound implications for human health and well-being, and requires urgent actions for urgent solutions. The green energy revolution shows a formidable path to achieving a sustainable solution, in terms of transitioning to renewable energy sources. Advances in technology have made these renewable energy resources more viable and cost-effective for transformation, storage and distribution.
