How To Avoid Wastage of Energy

To conserve energy and avoid waste, various methods are suggested: 1) Suppress unnecessary demand through legislation and rationing to minimize non-essential consumption. Power cuts can save energy for better use. 2) Modernize plants and equipment. Replace obsolete equipment with modern, energy-saving alternatives. 3) Save energy at home through better housekeeping and using appliances sparingly. 4) In industries, quality control and streamlining systems through structural changes can improve efficiency. 5) On transport, encourage rail travel over cars, and animal-drawn vehicles for short distances to spare energy use. Better urban planning can minimize commuting distances.

How to avoid waste of energy

With the fast growth of civilization there is also an ever mounting need for
energy. Energy may be in the form of fuels or electricity. The world appears to
have reactivated energy to a liquid fuel like petrol. This is likely to be
exhausted in the course of a few years at the rate man is using it. Electricity
depends on oil or water resources and when oil goes, water resources cannot keep up
with the demand. Everybody is caught up with the problem of conservation of energy.

To meet the challenge various methods have been suggested. One Is to suppress the
demand. Rationing has to be brought in by means of legislation so that non-
essential consumption may be brought to the minimum. In fact this is being done
when the power supply becomes chronically short. There can be a power cut. During
certain hours of the day the power supply can shut down, thus power is saved or
conserved for better use. Energy conservation is possible through modernization of
plant and equipment. In fact where obsolete equipment is in use it can be replaced
by modem, energy saving ones. Energy can he saved at domestic level by better house
keeping. Modern gadgets consuming energy should he used only when they are
absolutely necessary. Luxury items like the television, radio and record player can
be used sparingly. Wasteful usage of lights can be avoided. Meaningless
illumination must be given up. In industries through adopting quality control
measures, energy can be saved. It is also possible by reorganizing and streamlining
systems through structural changes as in modernizing equipment. For example by
adopting a better design in electrical motors, efficiency can be improved.

Energy can be saved on transport by the following methods. People should commute by
the rail rather than by cars and vans. Animal drawn vehicles may be encouraged for
very short distances. This is being done in countries where there is a village
economy and animals like bullocks are not scarce. The transport system must be
improved with a view to sparing the energy. Cities must be planned in such a way
that the commuting distance is minimized.

In industry many things could be done to reduce waste of energy or to economize


energy. The maintenance may be tightened; waste heat must be utilized properly. If
systems arc streamlined, economy in fuel could be obtained. Instead of using
materials requiring higher energy, those which require lower energy can be used. By
effecting minor changes in the existing plants, economy in energy could be
achieved.

Energy question is a major global problem and is drawing the attention of all. But
we can hope man with his ever rising urge for existence will cope up with this
major and the most urgent problem and find alternatives.
