the past, the panels that were needed to utilise energy from the sun were huge and not
very environmentally friendly. Now, however, the same pannels are small enough not
to be noticed or are made to look like say roof tiles or normal parts of vehicles. The
same will apply to wind farms as the giant turbines become smaller and less obvious.
Energy from water also comes in for a lot of criticism. This has come about from the
many high profile dam projects around the world where huge areas have been
destroyed both for people and local flora and fauna. However, it is a safer alternative
to nuclear energy and a price that has to be paid.
Whilst any form of energy that we seek to utilise is going to cause some damage, I
feel that wind, sun and water have to be harnessed for the good environment.
