Environmentally friendly methods of power generation in Malaysia
|
|
|
Malaysia is a country known for its natural beauty and its efforts to be a developed country. ... Or should the government find environmentally friendly methods of power generation to power our growing economy at a much higher price.
Hydroelectric power is not a new source of power to mankind. Hydroelectric power has been used since the 4th century B. ... Hydroelectric power in Malaysia has a lot of potential, mainly because of our high ‘rain fall’, and the many rivers in our country. The construction of the Bakun dam project in Sarawak will generate around 2400MW of electricity power but not without a cost. ... *View reference Bakun Dam*
Solar power is another source of power that is abundant in Malaysia since we have a tropical climate, thus we have sunshine all year round. Solar power is already in use in our country though in small scale only. In the city, solar power is used to provide electricity to parking ticket machines and phone booths. ... Solar energy causes no environmental pollution (release of greenhouse gasses or radioactive waste) but the only problem is the rate of power generation is very small. The ratio of area needed to power generated is not very good; a large area of photovoltaic cells is needed to generate a decent amount of power.
