Özet

Life needs energy resources to sustain itself. Firstly, energy was generated with fire and animals, and then with coal. Later on, machines were used to generate energy and today energy is provided by various sources. As is known, demand for goods and services never ends. The need for energy gradually grows up due to socioeconomic growth, political developments, urbanization, population flows and technological developments. Our living spaces change and develop in accord with that demand. We disrupt the natural balance and harm creatures.
