Immigration is driven by various factors such as the increased population in the world (Bansak, Simpson and Zavodny). Such increase is further complemented by the introduction and growth of the modern technology that enables people to move from one place to another regardless of the distance between at a given time. Energy consumption, on the other hand, has been affected by the increasing demand for energy supply in daily activities such as transportation, cooking, entertainment, learning amongst others (Pfafflin and Ziegler). Immigration, therefore, has played a significant role in the increased energy consumption, which further contributes to a challenge to on the environment.
Increased population and immigration have resulted in significant pressure on the natural resources demanding more energy consumption thus further adverse environmental implications. The implications are however positive and negative, but the adverse effects have developed concerns and the need to have alternative sources of energy. Therefore, the introduction and use of the renewable sources has been encouraged and adopted in various parts of the world. There are renewable and nonrenewable sources of energy according to (Maczulak 8). The non-renewable sources such as coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear power cannot be replaced efficiently in relation to the consumption levels of each. On the other hand, the renewable sources such as solar, the wind, hydroelectric and geothermal are naturally replenished andreadily available for consumption. The non-renewable sources have been in use for a long time and at an alarming rate, raising concerns on what to turn to once the resources are depleted. In addition, non-renewable are known to have an adverse influence on the atmospheric environment. Pollution during and after consumption of the energy consumption. Discussions linking the energy consumption and environmental challenges faced globally. Catastrophic outcomes of the use of energy sources such as oil include the death of plants and animals whose habitats are close to the mining, processing and intensive use of the oil products (Martin 189). Oil consumption, for instance, contributes to the increased release of carbon into the atmosphere. Such a scenario contributes to the depletion of Ozone layer, acid rain, and source of various respiratory illnesses. Other significant influences of the extraction of coal, oil and natural gas include the contamination of fresh water. The world is said to have significant volumes of water, but further research finds out …show more content…
Therefore, reduction of the energy consumption is not achievable in the 21st century. Two issues appear including the energy conservation measures efficient energy consumption as the solutions to the underlying challenges. Energy conservation and efficient use of energy include the practice of using the available energy and satisfying all the necessary needs. Some of the aspects that have been introduced in the society include the use of energy saving appliances, gadgets and venturing into the use of renewable and sustainable sources of energy. Industries and transportation are some of the areas that have a high demand for energy use in the society. The challenge arises when the measures are required to provide alternative sources of energy such as solar energy (Maczulak, 2009). The problem is that adopting and managing such a measure is expensive and individuals and companies are not willing to invest in solar energy. Thus, there has been a conflict of issues between the energy consumption and its effects in the
