ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF PROVIDING HUMANITY WITH ELECTRIC ENERGY AND WAYS TO SOLVE THEM

Much of the greenhouse gases that currently cover the Earth and capture solar heat are generated by burning fossil fuels to produce electricity and heat. Natural resources produced, such as coal, oil and gas, contribute the most to global climate change. One way out of this situation is the use of renewable energy sources. The article describes the advantages of small (up to 10 kW) and medium (up to 100 kW) wind power plants, which do not require large capital expenditures compared to high-power wind power plants, as one of the promising areas of development. renewable energy sources. The article clearly shows that the use of solar thermal collectors will be more promising for reducing the social burden.
