THE NEED FOR A RADICAL CHANGE IN THE WAY ENERGY IS USED FOR THE TRANSITION TO RENEWABLE ENERGY

Summary/Abstract: The transition to renewable energy is a complex challenge and requires a radical change in the way society thinks, designs and uses energy. Today, society relies heavily on fossil resources, which have been exploited in an intensive and unsustainable way, generating problems related to climate change, air and water pollution, and other negative environmental impacts. The transition to renewable energy is not only about replacing energy sources, but also about changing our mindset, how we design and build energy infrastructure, and how we use energy. This involves the development of new technologies and methods of energy production and storage, but also a change in individual and collective behavior. Thus, we must think of energy not only as a resource that must be exploited to the maximum, but also as a limited resource that must be used responsibly. We need to think in terms of energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption and using renewable energy when possible. Finally, the transition to renewable energy is not only a technical challenge, but also a cultural and social challenge. We need to change our way of thinking and behaving in order to make this transition in an effective and sustainable way.
