What are the causes of energy wastage?
Energy waste can directly lead to: - faster depletion of available fuel resources (lower efficiency means you need more fuel to do something than a method that is more efficient); - faster wear of equiment used to convert the fuel into usable energy (aggregate heat will hammer containement vessels quicker, requiring cooling plants to run harder and for a larger part of the day, etc.) - the waste heat becomes available energy to form new, possibly corrosive/toxic chemical compounds from liberated impurity ions (uncontrolled energy release). Main INDIRECT results from energy waste: - Innovation by start ups to invent a more efficient way to use limited energy, which will provide them with a competitive advantage, hopefully sufficient to become the major player inthat industry. - Increased algae biomass - increased energy waste causes increased warm water from cooling plants, which dumps into our rivers, lakes and seas, creating ideal conditions for increased algae growth. Food chains relying on this algae will flourish over those in competition. - Faster depletion of our water supply - hotter air can hold more moisture than dry; so more of our global water supply will get locked into our atmosphere, increasing the risk of that water may exit out into space. Hope this helps.
