The Importance of Energy<\/h4>\n

That the current fighting in the Middle East around the Strait of Hormuz is driving up gas prices<\/a> in many places is undoubtedly a big reason why the above-mentioned article is being featured on jw.org<\/a> at this time. Yes, energy is more than just an abstract scientific concept.<\/p>\n

In physics, energy is defined<\/a> as \u201cthe capacity for doing work<\/a>\u201d, which in turn involves applying force to move something a certain distance. So, practically speaking, energy provides the ability to move physical things, like our cars. And since heat<\/a> is connected to temperature<\/a>, which \u201creflects the average kinetic energy of the particles in a system\u201d, energy also provides the ability to heat things, like our homes. (By the way, in physics, \u201cpower<\/a> is defined as the rate of producing or consuming energy.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking back in history, oil\u2014along with other fossil fuels still the dominant source of energy down to this day<\/a>, in spite of increasing use of clean energy\u2014was a big factor in why Japan attacked Pearl Harbour<\/a> in 1941, and in why Nazi Germany ultimately lost<\/a> to the Allies in World War II.<\/p>\n

Coming back to the present day, besides gas prices being driven up by the ongoing fighting in the Middle East, another reason why energy is now of concern to many is that oodles and gobs of energy are needed to train and operate artificial intelligence (AI) models<\/a>, which are increasingly being hyped and used by many.<\/p>\n

Another Usage Example<\/h4>\n

Regarding \u201cn\u00e9ngyu\u00e1n<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(n\u00e9ng\u00b7yu\u00e1n\n\t\t\tenergy \u00b7 {source (of a river)} \u2192<\/span> [energy [source]]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u80fd\u6e90)<\/span>\u201d,<\/i> note that its morphemes<\/a> literally mean \u201cenergy \u00b7 source (of a river)\u201d. However, the expression as a whole is at times used to effectively mean just \u201cenergy\u201d.<\/p>\n

To help Mandarin field language learners get more of a feel for how to use this expression, here is another usage example, taken from the above-mentioned jw.org<\/a> article:<\/p>\n

English:<\/p>\n

\nChallenge: international conflict.<\/strong> Some regions are rich in energy resources, but they suffer from wars, conflicts, and disputes over territory. And when conflicts disrupt supply chains for oil or gas, many people face shortages and higher prices.<\/p>\n

The Bible says:<\/strong> \u201cJehovah\u2026is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth.\u201d\u2014Psalm 46:8, 9<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jehovah God will eliminate conflict and wars.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jehovah\u2019s Energy<\/h4>\n

Yes, Jehovah can and will resolve the issues the world is facing involving energy. Regarding the sheer amount of energy that Jehovah has at his disposal, a past MEotW post<\/a> said:<\/p>\n

\nAs an example of just how powerful Jehovah\u2019s holy spirit is even compared to humans\u2019 nuclear bombs, according to my research and calculations, every day, the sun, produced with power from the holy spirit, puts out the energy of almost 8 quadrillion (1015<\/sup>) 1-megaton nuclear bombs. (A single 1-megaton nuclear bomb would release about 67 times the amount of energy released by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima<\/a>.) And according to NASA<\/a>, \u201cit turns out that our Sun is an average-sized star. There are bigger stars, and there are smaller stars. We have found stars that are 100 times bigger in diameter than our sun.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And of course, as we who have gotten to know Jehovah have learned, Jehovah God is far from being all muscle and no brains or heart or conscience. In addition to having unlimited power,<\/strong> we can rest assured that he also has the wisdom,<\/strong> the justice,<\/strong> and most importantly, the love<\/strong> required to best beneficially use all that power and energy\u2014he is truly the ultimate N\u00e9ngyu\u00e1n<\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t(N\u00e9ng\u00b7yu\u00e1n\n\t\t\tEnergy \u00b7 {Source (of a River)} \u2192<\/span> [Energy Source]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\u80fd\u6e90)<\/span>!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
