Every time you turn on a light or charge a device, you're using electrical energy. It keeps the modern world moving! Unfortunately, most electrical energy comes from fossil fuels like petrol and diesel, which are expensive and very harmful to the environment. In fact, fossil fuels are a major cause of climate change, yet we keep using them because humans crave energy! The good news is that scientists have been developing alternative ways to produce electrical energy using natural resources that will never run out and don?t contribute to climate change. We call this sustainable energy. In this episode of N*Gen, we visit a Ugandan power generator that generates electricity from everyday food waste and a Kenyan wind farm that converts wind into electricity. Join us to discover how we can generate energy without harming the environment.
