Environmental Impact of Electricity
Journal Title: Carpathian Journal of Electrical Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
Electricity is justly considered today as an indispensable factor of existence and development of society. Besides its incontestable benefits, there can be revealed some forms of environmental impact that, to a greater or lesser extent, create concern amongst specialists, as well as among the general public. The paper proposes an analysis of the impact on the environment of the electricity, starting from the different forms of production of electric energy, presenting also the negative environmental effects of transport, distribution, and use of electricity.
