There are several alternative energy sources to oil like solar energy, biofuels, wind energy, water, and geothermal. With finite natural oil, coal and gas reserves, humans must plan on alternative energy sources to survive. Carbon Emissions from fossil fuels are causing catastrophic global warming by tapping heat in the atmosphere, melting, polar and glacial ice with cascading effects. This paper discusses the various possible alternative energy solutions for a new sustainable way of life on planet
became the main source of energy. However, faced with the notable increase demand for energy, fossil fuel, as a non-renewable resource becomes scarcer and more expensive nowadays. To solve this problem, the world needs to replace fossil fuels with other sources of energy which are relatively low-cost and more secure. Renewable energy is such a potential energy. This essay will give an outline of three sources of renewable energy to be used in developing nations, which are solar energy, wind power and
Alternative Energy Investment The emergence of the Industrial Revolution in the 1760s has led to many issues facing the environment as of today. The Arab Oil Embargo in 1973 created the first skyrocket of gas prices in the United States. This further displayed the weakness of the United States and showed our dependence on foreign oil. The usage of coal firing and natural gas as our primary sources of energy has dramatically degraded our various ecosystems and the health of others. By investing in

Nuclear power plants are an extremely safe and reliable source of clean energy. As long as protocol on safety is met, then there should be no means for worry. The coal-burning power plants are only killing us slowly; we need to take action now before it is too late. We need to embrace new technology and use it to advance
would happen if the sources of the world's energy suddenly disappeared? Do not think it is impossible. While fossil fuels provide an overwhelming majority of the world's energy, they are non-renewable. So, what happens when they run out? This research paper confronts this question with a balanced view attempting to address the issue of what sources might provide energy in the future and come to an objective conclusion. As the world enters a new century, new sources of energy such as wind, solar

America Must Develop Renewable Sources of Energy Despite the fact that many different types of energy are available on our planet, fossil fuels remain to be the most widely used in the United States as well as in the rest of the world. The relative ease with which fossil fuels can be extracted from the Earth and converted into energy may account for its unwavering popularity. However, it is important to remember the environmental implications of burning fossil fuels and the effects
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Because of the lack of fossil fuel energy and increasing of looking for renewable and clean fuel, the alternative energy is widely studied and used to solve this problem. The biodiesel, ethanol and hydrogen are possible alternative energy used. Biodiesel is produced form transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fat and alcohol. The significant amount of glycerol, namely crude glycerol, was also produced from this process. Meanwhile, Hydrogen was used
Our sources of oil or petroleum are running out. Although new oil deposits are being discovered every year, the amount does not equal to levels of our annual consumption. Petroleum also produces carbon dioxide, which contribute to greenhouse warming. In the effort to reduce the need for oil or petroleum as a source of energy many solutions are being discuss such as wind power, solar power, coal and the use biofuels such as ethanol as would be alternative fuel sources. In this paper, the pros and
From nuclear waste to nuclear meltdowns to nuclear weapons, the energy has long received controversy over its utilization as a power source (Davis 50). However, with a plethora of nations desiring a 60 percent decrease in carbon emissions by 2050, nuclear energy has arisen as a viable alternative power source (Fells 737) As climate change disrupts weather patterns and ocean levels from these carbon emissions, the argument has strenghtened for exploiting the benefits nuclear power (Fells 739). Some
The Use of Hydrogen as an Energy Source in the Future There have been many stories in the newspapers, on TV and on the radio about the state that our planet is in, and most of the time they are not too positive. We hear about pollution, and global warming most frequently, which are both caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels. Because of this, organizations and governments have started to invest money in researching alternate forms of energy that are less polluting and that do not contribute
Biofuel: An Alternative Energy Source Abstract As the world’s source of fossil fuels diminishes, another source of energy must replace fossil fuels. This paper evaluates biofuel, one alternative form of energy by showing what biofuel is, how it works, its historical use, and benefits and drawbacks it pertains. I hypothesized that biofuel would be an effective alternative energy. My conclusion does not support my claim, but in terms of worldwide usage. Introduction: With the world’s source of fossil
Everything on Earth revolves around energy. Whether it involves plants, animals, or humans. The activities we do every day in our households, and the tasks that occur worldwide, use energy, that will eventually run out. That is why we need to conserve the energy resources we have, and search to find an alternate resource. Coal is one the three main fossil fuels. It is composed of living materials, which classifies it as a fossil fuel. It is also classified by its hardness, moisture, and heat content
Trash is a common subject in the world today. How do dispose of it properly with out harming the environment is tricky. Ways for recycling certain materials has grown more popular, also techniques for cleaner energy is being widely researched. Garbage is a daily chore in every average home. It’s usually overlooked, and people don’t realize how much waste they can produce in one day. A person on average will throw away 4.4 pounds of trash per day. ¶ The definition of waste management is the gathering
Nuclear energy now is the world’s mainly useful form of energy. Energy are devolved and have been used from the fossils fuels and are still be used now, but it is not an option to use it in the future. So this turned that we have a nuclear power as the best choice. There are many positives to nuclear energy over fossil fuels such as less global warming effects. At this time nuclear power provides 6% of the world’s energy and about 14% of the world’s electricity. The best part of this nuclear
Breeder Reactors: A Foreseeable Option? Abstract: Fission of nuclear particles has the potential to produce massive amounts of energy and electricity to help mankind. Breeder reactors bring forth modern technology at its finest; mankind is becoming more and more creative to make reactors which can be optimally efficient and cost-effective at the same time.

technology just because that same technology can be used for evil. Otherwise we would never have harnessed fire.” -Patrick Moore, a Greenpeace co-founder- About two-thirds of electricity used globally today is generated from fossil fuels using the energy created from burning fuels such as coal and gas, which release greenhouse gases. These trap heat in the atmosphere and cause global warming. Moreover no more fuels are predicted being formed in the near future to replace what is being used up since
Renewable sources of energy, is an energy that comes from natural sources that make many governments initiate programmes of energy production from renewable sources to reduce using fossil fuels because our dependence on fossil fuels for energy pollutes the atmosphere with greenhouse gases , such as nitrogen oxides , volatile organic compounds , sulfur dioxide and heavy metals, leading to a seriously bad impacts on the planet’s ecosystems, including forests and the weather. Not only fossil fuel could
since humans have existed they have been interested in one thing—energy. Energy and the use of it has been a big question mark to humans throughout history. Also whenever humans find an energy source they are never satisfied. The human race has always tried to find newer and more effective ways of energy to show their dominance. For hundreds of years humans have fallen in love with fossil fuel energy. These various types of energy are very effective for any needs that humans might have. There are
natural sources of energy is on the forefront of everyone’s mind. Over the last couple of decades the price of oil has almost quadrupled, and the reserves are disappearing almost as fast as it can be produced. As well as, natural gas has become increasingly more expensive to produce and manufacture. On the other hand, wind and solar power energy can produce enough energy but the infrastructures cannot support this type of energy conversion. However, the answer to this foreseeable energy crisis could

Geothermal Energy: The Answer to the Energy Problem? Abstract: The global community is currently searching for new sources of energy that are not detrimental to the environment, that are cost effective, and that will be able to provide for the current and future demand for energy. Geothermal energy is one of the promising alternatives to fossil fuels because it releases no toxic or greenhouse gas emissions, its current cost is decreasing yearly, and it is a continuous source of energy. It is a
In a society that is capable of producing and consuming large amount of energy, we often take these nonrenewable resources for granted. It isn’t until the last few decades that people begins to realize the effect of global warming. With more and more cars appearing on the road everyday, the necessity of gasoline is greatly increasing. Fortunately, a “new” technology has been developed. It is believed to be the next replacement for gasoline and it would have positive environmental impact. As you might
IS NUCLEAR ENERGY A SOLUTION TO THE ENERGY CRISIS? Contents * Abstract * Introduction * Report * Conclusion * Bibliography * Appendix Abstract Nuclear energy could be the future of energy and potentially solve the energy crisis problem. Nuclear energy is a sustainable energy source and it can provide millions of times the amount of energy output from a fixed mass of fuel than any other energy source, such as fossil fuel, for the same mass of fuel.
The Power of Solar Energy In today’s world, the growth of energy demands is exploding. Many of the energy sources that supply society with power currently run on non-renewable resources such as oil and coal. These resources also pollute our environment. Other resources such as hydro and wind power are not as reliable as they fluctuate in availability due to environmental conditions. It is important to investigate alternative resources of energy as the current forms and output will not sustain

Energy Consumption Continuing expansion of the world population results in increasing demands for energy to support human existence. I will concentrate on countries that use a lot of energy from fossil fuels, as well as examine countries that are increasingly becoming dependent on alternative forms of energy, such as nuclear energy and hydroelectricity, and others including geothermal and solar energy. The fossil fuels I am going to examine are coal, natural gas, and oil. Within the sector
The consumption of energy in our world is vital, especially in the economy. Although, the methods of obtaining energy is harmful in many ways. The worst of many ways are the release of greenhouse gases; these gases are dangerous to the environment, the health of human beings and animals. The causes of all the harmful effects are from Fossil Fuels. These fuels are made out of combinations of hydrogen and carbon atoms called hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons come in plenty of forms- starting from the smallest

demand of energy resources on a worldwide scale, finding ourselves globally in an impending energy crisis. Industrialized nations, comprising the developed world, such as those of the United States of America and other European nations making up a mere 20% of the entire global populous, require close to about 53% of the global energy output, leaving the developing world with negligible resources to promote growth and development of their own. As remarked by Maria Trimarchi (2008), “Energy consumption
Energy is what makes the world go around. Without the continuous supply of energy that most of us take for granted, things would quickly come to a stop. We are dependent on energy for our very survival. Heating our homes, transportation, communication, health, even our daily food supply, which all depends on energy. But while energy delivers much that is good, it is also a primary factor, the primary factor. Which destroy our life systems. From smog, to acid rain, to climate change, to nuclear radiation
Nuclear Energy One of the key factors needed to continue human progress is an energy source that is not only adequate but plentiful and unharmful to our environment. These requirements are very difficult to meet. As of right now, most of our energy comes from the combustion of coal, oil and natural gas. “They will last quite a while but will probably run out or become harmful in tens to hundreds of years.”(Source 2) The effects they have on the environment are also an issue.

Energy is a key driver for economic growth, constituting about 20% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2010, the total primary energy supply was 3127.7 petajoules. The main energy sources of commercial energy supply were crude oil, which accounted 44.7% and natural gas which accounted 41.6%. These sources remain major ones. However, the share of coal and coke increased from 9.1% in 2005 to 11.2 % in these years and only 2.5% came from the non-fossil source of hydro power in 2010. From the
Geothermal energy is the harvesting of heat energy stored in the inner depth of the Earth’s crust [1]. This internal heat comes from two primary sources: radioactive decay of elements and primordial heat resulting from the initial formation of the Earth [2]. The earth’s outer layer acts as an insulator to the heat, which is why geothermal energy involves digging deep into the soil and pumping the heat from those hotter zones. Heat resources are not evenly distributed under the Earth’s surface.
GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS: THEN AND NOW Global Energy Crisis: Then and Now Introduction The world today faces an energy crisis. The world is dependent on certain natural resources like oil and natural gas that are quickly depleting. These resources are being imported from countries that have the ability to set higher prices due to demand (Nef 1977). Because of this, the world faces a great recession, and like Britain in the second half of the 16th century, we need to find alternative sources of

Understanding Alternative Medicine Modern medicine is in a period of profound change. Everyday, more and more ideas from other cultures are being transferred and integrated into our society. Many treatments that people are now familiar with have come from other traditions. Aspirin and quinine are two familiar examples of treatments that have been “westernized” by science. Alternative medical traditions will not replace western medicine, but instead are adding a new dimension of treatment that
Wind energy or wind power is the extraction of kinetic energy from wind and the conversion of it into mechanical energy. Man has harnessed the power of the wind for many centuries. Wind is a type of solar energy. The sun heats the earth’s surface and the warmer air begins to rise. Cooler air flows into the area below the rising air causing wind. The Egyptians utilized the wind as early as 5000 B.C. by attaching sails to propel boats across the Nile River. For many years sailing ships on the
