Apart from that it is hard to get a dead battery to reuse thus we would have to
throw them. Batteries are made up of chemicals. When these chemicals
decompose, it creates chemical hazards. So, when we think this way our old way of
getting energy form coal seems reasonable and also because it is easy to transport
energy that way. We cannot use coal or use more batteries rather we have to find a
way to produce green energy and store it without causing any more pollution.
One of the things that we could do would be replace our old batteries with
rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable batteries have higher efficiency. So, if we
have to use batteries then using these in place of using non rechargeable batteries
would reduce the number of dead batteries thus reducing the chemical pollution
that we might cause. Improving technology would be the next best thing to do.
Improving technology is cutting costs, which means storage systems could replace
some plants and avoid the need for new ones, as well as cut demand for oil. In the
next seven or eight years, the price of batteries used for storage may fall by about
half, to $230 a kilowatt hour of generating capacity, said Sofia Savvantidou, an
analyst at Citigroup in London.
Another option could be opportunity funding from the government. If the
government would fund scientist or institutions for research to find new options for
efficient storage of energy, may be in the future some inventions would be made
and the problem would be solved. If the government could provide good incentives
to capable firms or research labs it could actually be a very profitable deal for
everyone in the world. The one field where they could invest on could be improving
the efficiency of capacitors because they can store energy too.
A lot is going on in the solar energy production and storage in the world which we
see and read about every day. The question is Is it going to be enough? We cannot
give up on finding new ways and methods for the conservation of energy in one
form or other. Our future is dependent on the fact that we should be able to store
energy or else we will be either facing global warming or energy crisis which one or
another is a loss to us. Therefore, steps to efficient storage of energy should be our
major concern.
