Energy Resources (Notes-3)

Renewable energy resources like Hydropower, the sun, wind, tides and biomass are nor likely to make significant contributions to the world’s energy for the developed nations. But these renewable sources are expected to play an increasingly important role in the energy use pattern of many developing countries like Ethiopia. It is not environmentally friendly to completely shift the hunger for petroleum to the more abundant but still finite coal, shell and heavy oil reserves; because it will increase the level of CO2 which is the known greenhouse gas.
