How can we use too much energy to harm the environment?

Acid Rain and Pollution
Nearly all forms of electricity produce waste. Natural gas, for example, releases nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide. These gases are trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, which can lead to air pollution and smog.



Using too much energy is a bad thing for the environment.

To create electricity, fossil fuels such as coal are used. Too much energy is harmful to our environment. The burning of fossil fuels releases tons of C02 into the atmosphere, which causes Global Warming. To produce more energy, you must use more resources.

What happens if you consume too much energy? Too much energy can lead to heart failure. It was found that the cells take in more glucose than they store, which leads to an increase in glycogen levels in the heart muscle cells.

How does energy use affect the environment?

Every energy source has an impact on the environment. Fossil fuels, such as oil and natural gas, cause more damage than renewable energy sources in most cases, including water and air pollution, habitat loss, water usage, land use and global warming emissions.
