Fossil fuels (coal, gas and oil) are finite and are becoming increasingly scarce. On top of this, many of the regions from which they are sourced, such as the Middle East and Russia are inherently unstable. Against this background, energy generated from the use of fossil fuels has increased dramatically in price over the last few years.
Burning fossil fuels to produce energy also releases greenhouse gases, in particular, carbon dioxide (CO2). This build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has led to global warming, and experts predict that global average temperatures will increase between 1.4 and 5.8ºC by 2100. Global warming has serious implications for mankind, both now and in the future.
The only way to avert catastrophic climate change is to dramatically reduce our use of fossil fuels now. Until recently this did not appear feasible, however recent developments in renewable energy technology (i.e. energy produced from infinite natural sources) and increasing political emphasis on the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions means that it now makes financial as well as environmental sense for the majority of UK households to consider installing renewable technologies.
In short, the technological and political situation has now reached a stage where for once easing your conscience can also save you money. Eco Energi is here to help you take advantage of that opportunity.
