Energy Consumption And Immigration

Immigration is driven by various factors such as the increased population in the world (Bansak, Simpson and Zavodny). Such increase is further complemented by the introduction and growth of the modern technology that enables people to move from one place to another regardless of the distance between at a given time. Energy consumption, on the other hand, has been affected by the increasing demand for energy supply in daily activities such as transportation, cooking, entertainment, learning amongst others (Pfafflin and Ziegler). Immigration, therefore, has played a significant role in the increased energy consumption, which further contributes to a challenge to on the environment.
Increased population and immigration have resulted in significant pressure on the natural resources demanding more energy consumption thus …show more content…
Therefore, reduction of the energy consumption is not achievable in the 21st century. Two issues appear including the energy conservation measures efficient energy consumption as the solutions to the underlying challenges. Energy conservation and efficient use of energy include the practice of using the available energy and satisfying all the necessary needs. Some of the aspects that have been introduced in the society include the use of energy saving appliances, gadgets and venturing into the use of renewable and sustainable sources of energy. Industries and transportation are some of the areas that have a high demand for energy use in the society. The challenge arises when the measures are required to provide alternative sources of energy such as solar energy (Maczulak, 2009). The problem is that adopting and managing such a measure is expensive and individuals and companies are not willing to invest in solar energy. Thus, there has been a conflict of issues between the energy consumption and its effects in the
