The invention of electricity in the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday changed our living style from a harsh life to an easier one. Also it replaced 10 men’s work with one machine which is worked by electricity. It is the main utility used in houses and factories. How power turbines get manufactured and operated. The electricity industry developed in the last quarter of the 19th century. In this report I’m going to describe the way of developing the generation of the electrical industry and how governments are interested in it.
In the past, the earliest electrical generators were generated by coal. Moreover the coal is a fossil fuel which produces a lot of carbon dioxide emissions in the air because it is needed to burn a huge amount of coal to generate electricity. Next the generators have moved to use fuel such as oil and gas which are fossil fuel. ‘In 1975 fossil oil and natural gas were being replaced by other forms of renewable resources with low-cost which does not harm the environment’ (Wikipedia, 2008). Some types of renewable energy are Biomass, Geothermal Energy, Wind Energy and Photovoltaic Cells. These types convert the energy of the natural resources to an electrical source by using a proper device in a proper way. Also ‘in April 2008 the garbage was converted into alternative energy with a simple way to treat the environment’ (Business Line, 2005) by using a coal with a tiny amount of carbon dioxide. Nowadays the generators industry has been improved because the parts are built to be used in all kinds of forces that need to operate the machine. For example in wind energy turbines they used wind towers instead of small buildings which are easily broken. Also they used the height of skyscrapers to generate electricity by using photovoltaic cells and the power of wind energy. Moreover there is nuclear power which is generating a lot of electrical energy with a small amount of pollution but it needs a high level of technology. The world is now trying to use the power of earth’s gravity and they are spending a high amount of money to make studies to generate power and save the environment.
In conclusion any country without electrical power supply is missing a major reason to start developing the country. The development of electrical generators has become better because we are enjoying living on the only earth we have. Moreover we do not want to damage our beautiful earth by adding a lot of carbon dioxide in the air which is the main effect of the global warming. Also the governments should make it a first priority to live in a healthy air.
