Environmental Impact of Electricity Generation: Mirrors as Solution

This report examines the application of mirrors in electricity generation as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional methods. It emphasizes the importance of renewable energy sources, particularly solar radiation harnessed through mirrors, to reduce the negative impacts of conventional electricity production. The project focuses on the relationship between social, economic, and environmental factors, considering public opinion, safety concerns, and the reliability of power sources. The human-centered design approach aims to improve living standards by addressing global environmental challenges like global warming and carbon emissions. The report highlights the potential of mirrors in electricity generation to create jobs, eliminate accident risks, and mitigate the hazards of nuclear proliferation, contributing to a safer and more sustainable future. The report also references several studies that support the project's claims regarding sustainability, social impact, and environmental benefits.

SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATION
Hundreds of millions of human beings under the sun depend on electricity in one way or
another, for far too long we’ve concentrated on the how to maximize its production neglecting
the possible effect that these efforts of producing more electricity pose to our society and lives of
the ones we love (Gaete et al., 2019). About decade ago they said that use of renewable energy
would be a near solution, well solution has come that implement the use of mirrors to tap and
produce alternative energy in the form of electricity that guarantee environmental safety to
human beings. (Fortier et al., 2019)
The development of this project is more sustainable since it harvests to its maximum the
untapped solar radiation from sun that never fades and as a routine will ever shine predictably to
provide reliable energy to users. (Barnes, 2019)
The project concentrates on the relationship that exists between social aspect of life, economic
developments, environmental tendency, and issues of energy production. It give consideration to
what exactly are the public opinion towards renewable energy production, their social concern on
the safety of their operation, reliability of power source and sustainability of the source of
energy. (Albert et al., 2019)
The project design is based on a human-centered design since the aim is to improve on the living
standards. This is achievable by taking into consideration public opinion and perception on
renewable energy and significant social trends such as expected change in life conditions,
expected consumer behavior, societal expectations, and trends in communication technology.
Relevance of renewable energy is to address these global environmental challenges that are
caused by current applicable methods of electricity production once and for all. (Contreras et al.,
2018)

The project is aimed at improving the social life of members of the society by the fact that during
its implementation, many will secure jobs that will help in meeting financial needs.
The objective of this project is to eliminate vital social effect ts that have been associated with
production of electricity such as severe accident risks, global warming excessive carbon
emission, nuclear proliferation risks and improper disposal of nuclear wastes that to a great
extent has caused more harm to human social life. (Zimdars & Pfister, 2018)
Electrification and urbanization have a significant impact on energy consumption thus for
optimization of energy consumption, production of energy and its distribution is much dictated
with human social life.
