Enviromental Problems 3

ENERGY: 

*The environmental impact of the energy industry is diverse. Energy has been harnessed by humans for millennia. Initially it was with the use of fire for light, heat, cooking and for safety, and its use can be traced back at least 1.9 million years.

* In recent years there has been a trend towards the increased

commercialization of various renewable energy sources. 

*Consumpution of fossil fuel resources lead to global warming and climate change. In most parts of the world little change is being made to slow these changes. If the peak oil theory proves true, and more explorations of viable alternative energy sources are made, our impact could be less hostile to our environment.
