Power Shortage

-->

Here comes the time when I am actually writing my own 1^st blog post and like every such individual I am too feeling conscious and skeptic about every statement that I want to add in this article.

Well, without much ado I would start….

It was raining outside I was sitting in the balcony attached to my room & there was no power at that time and while enjoying the weather  some thoughts crossed my mind.

We said we “need” more power… How real is it?
Why can’t we shorten the work hours to reduce the power usage?
Is the whole world efficiently using the “power” or most of it goes into waste?
If we take an example of India,  the per capita average annual domestic electricity consumption in India in 2009 was 96 kWh in rural areas and 288 kWh in urban areas for those with access to electricity, in contrast to the worldwide per capita annual average of 2600 kWh and 6200 kWh in the European union. India currently suffers from a major shortage of electricity generation capacity, even though it is the world's fourth largest energy consumer after United States, China and Russia. So the demand of energy is more than its supply.
And Where would this energy come from ? Obviously there is a huge amount of energy generation as well but its not only the suppliers who are going to provide the same but the government on the other hand has a significant role in managing the distribution & not just working on generation part.

Also the fact that Electricity problems are not just confined to the developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, India but it  has now become a worldwide problem where we all need to look at and do something about it.

News related to electricity issues like

*NIGERIA: 2000 COMMUNITIES HAVE NO ELECTRICITY- SAYS NNAJI

* SOUTH KOREA THREATENED BY WORST POWER SHORTAGES THIS SUMMER.

*PAKISTAN POWER SHORTAGE PROBLEM IS THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST THREAT.

News like above are the evidences to the fact that there has been a increase in issues related to “Power crises” & very less effort has been put into resolve them.

In recent years, there is substantial increase seen in the population & industrial growth therefore it has lead to rise in global demand of energy as well.

So In the 21st century, with more of the world's population living in metropolitan agglomerates requires electric power, without which it cannot function, electricity has become our new bread.

Thus We all together need to contribute our bit to make efficient use of energy and not to waste it when not in use. Also there is a major role of government to take initiatives and active part in managing these resources properly & making power available in all the sectors of the economy wisely.
