Green energy refers to the use of power that is not only
more efficient than fossil fuel but that is friendly to the environment as
well. Green energy is generally defined as energy sources that dont pollute and
are renewable.There are several categories of green energy. They are anaerobic
digestion, wind power, geothermal power, hydropower on a small scale, biomass
power, solar power and wave power. Waste incineration can even be a source of
green energy.Nuclear power plants claim that they produce green energy as well,
though this source is fraught with controversy, as we all know. While nuclear
energy may be sustainable, may be considered renewable and does not pollute the
atmosphere while it is producing energy, its waste does pollute the biosphere
as it is released.The transport, mining and phases before and after production
of nuclear energy does produce and release carbon dioxide and similar
destructive greenhouse gases. When we read of green energy, therefore, we rarely
see nuclear power included.Those who support nuclear energy say that nuclear
waste is not, in fact, released into our earths biosphere during its normal
production cycle. They stress as well that the carbon dioxide that nuclear
energy production releases is comparable, in terms of each kilowatt hour of
electricity, to such sources of green energy as wind power.As an example of the
green energy production the average wind turbine, such as the one in Reading
England, can produce enough energy daily to be the only energy source for 1000
households.Many countries now offer household and commercial consumers to opt
for total use of green energy. They do this one of two ways. Consumers can buy
their electricity from a company that only uses renewable green energy
technology, or they can buy from their general supplies such as the local
utility company who then buys from green energy resources only as much of a
supply as consumers pay for.The latter is generally a more cost - efficient way
of supplying a home or office with green energy, as the supplier can reap the
economic benefits of a mass purchase. Green energy generally costs more per
kilowatt hour than standard fossil fuel energy. Consumers can also purchase
green energy certificates, which are alternately referred to as green tags or
green certificates. These are available in both Europe and the United States,
and are the most convenient method for the average consumer to support green
energy. More than 35 million European households and one million American
households now buy these green energy certificates.While green energy is a
great step in the direction of keeping our environment healthy and our air as
pollutant free as possible, it must be noted that no matter what the energy, it
will negatively impact the environment to some extent.Every energy source,
green or otherwise, requires energy. The production of this energy will create
pollution during its manufacture. Green energys impact is minimal, however.
