translated from Spanish: Consumption of natural resources – El Mostrador

the arrival of August did not pass unnoticed to our planet. The 1st of this month was the day of the year in which mankind consumed all the natural resources that the ecosystem is able to regenerate in 365 days. This has again sparked concerns about how much longer may stipulate the land to live, considering that that date limit is being conducted more and more year after year.
To this excessive consumption of resources you should also add traces of carbon that is generated by various human activities, and between them, one that is key is the energy industry.
Particularly in Chile, has been given a promising and growing phenomenon linked to solar energy. This type of energy, unlike the thermoelectricity, whether coal, natural gas or diesel, has no C02 emissions, and has been gaining unusual terrain in Chile during the last time.
Indeed, this type of energy is approaching strongly the 10% stake in the electric system in terms of installed capacity, according to the latest report issued by the National Commission of energy (CNE) electrical Coordinator.
Adding wind power and hydropower, the electrical system starts to be powered by a growing number of clean and environmentally friendly energy from the environment, which with much effort, dedication and hard work have managed to win a space increasingly considerable in the matrix.
The future of solar energy is promising, and it will be possible to somehow counter the growing consumption of natural resources and emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, which currently generates so much concern in Everybody.
