End of Fossil Fuel Era for the Energy Providers in UK?

Image
Global carbon emission has led the world to believe that it is high time for everyone to adopt carbon emission-free lifestyles. In 2023 after 66 years it’s the first time domestic and commercial electricity suppliers in UK generated the lowest level of energy from fossil fuels. Making just 33% of UK electricity supply from fossil fuels and renewable energy emerging with a share of 44% of UK’s energy. If we look back in history when the known sources of energy were fossil fuels. As the economy expanded the need for energy grew and with every year a rise was observed in the energy generation and its demand. With time and advancements, many new sources like nuclear came into existence and shared the percentage of energy generation with fossil fuels. The adaptation of nuclear resources allowed every commercial energy provider to deliver energy at a better rate and create competition.   Fossil Fuel and Global Warming: Common knowledge is that fossil fuels are found in nature and formed ...

Renewable Energy in Developing Countries: A Way Forward
