Methods Of Production Of Electricity In United States And Some Details About Electricity Rates
United States is a super-power and it produces electricity from coal, biomass, natural gas, solar, wind, geothermal and petroleum products. 42% with the electricity is produced from coal and 25% is produced from natural gas. The cost the coal and natural gas is indirectly related to the Electricity rates. The demand and cost of natural gas and coal increases, then the Electricity rates also increases rapidly. When natural gas and coal is continuously used in the production of electricity then the availability of these resources will reduce. Demand rises when the availability of resources is reduced. It is a fact that, the cost of a product increases when the demand rises. Coal and natural gas are non renewable resources. Once they are used, it takes thousands of years to get coal in the decayed organisms. Coal and also other petroleum products is decreasing in USA so, they are planning to produce electricity by using nuclear energy. 19% of America’s electricity is obtained by nuclear energy. When the percentage of production is increases there is a change to reduce
Electricity rates. It is pretty difficult to produce more energy form windmills or by solar projects. People who are enthusiastic about reducing the energy rates can construct a solar panel and they can make use in the electricity produced by it. The initial investment may be high but once can generate electricity for a long period. Solar energy is a renewable energy resource and this is the reason why people prefer solar energy. The cost required to produce energy from solar panels is less when compared to any other technique. The availability of crude oil and also other petroleum produces decreases and they will become extinct very soon. By using solar energy the pollution also can be reduced. Pollution becomes more when coal or other petroleum products is employed.
