One of the Ayudh initiatives is supporting nature. One way to support nature is to reduce energy consumption. Energy production is a complex story with a lot of moving bits and pieces. A good example of this is seen in this amazing blog post. Having a strong El Nino means a warmer winter in MA. However it means a colder and wetter winter down south in Texas. El Nino also has an impact on wind, and this year we produced far less energy from wind, than previous years.
We should remember that the energy we use has a cost of production and transportation that depends on nature. If we don't take care of nature, we may end up in a situation where the cost of producing energy is more than we can afford. This winter, lets try to find ways to lower our energy consumption. One way to achieve this may be cranking down the heat and wearing a jacket to bed, or having an extra blanket. Not only will this help us lower our energy bills, it will strengthen us to face the changing energy world.

Finally, the blog mentioned that green energy technologies have various challenges that lower their adoption. It is important to remember that most technologies face challenges and present new problems. Coal production without adequate filtration causes acid rain in your lungs, has massive environmental repercussions, and causes global warming - a problem so massive that it is hard to enforce a policy to deal with it. A mole of unburned natural gas (which is mostly methane) is equal to 70 moles of CO2 when it comes to global warming potential. Seeing that around 3% of natural gas escapes, it really isn't all to clean.
