Energy
The need for energy is a statement from the beginning of life itself. A body needs to grow and reproduce energy, the movement of any animal is an energy expenditure, and even the very act of respiration of plants and animals involves energetic action. In all matters relating to individual or social life energy is present. The collection of light and heat is related to the production and consumption of energy. Both terms are essential for the survival of the earth and as a result of plant life, animal and human. The human being from their first steps on earth, and throughout history, has been a seeker of ways to generate the necessary energy and facilitating a more enjoyable life. Thanks to the use and knowledge of the forms of energy has been able to cover basic needs: light, heat, motion, strength, and achieve greater levels of comfort to make life more comfortable and healthy.
The discovery that the energy is stored in various forms in nature has led to the different societies over time, the discovery of the existence of "natural energy stores" which apparently were freely available. Coupled with this, man has discovered that these stores of energy available in nature (water bodies, wind directions, forests) were capable of being transformed into the form of energy needs at a time (initially light and heat, power electricity and later), and even adopt new production systems and energy storage for use in the desired time and place: chemical energy, hydro, nuclear, ...
However, hand in hand with this discovery of natural stores, there has been a change in the environment and depletion of environmental resources. Thus, the use of energy has led to a side effect of desertification, erosion and pollution mainly that fueled the current environmental issues and the potential to enhance it with debris and waste some of the ways of obtaining energy.
