Renewable energy can boost economic growth and increase job opportunities ("Renewable Green Energy"). There are many pros of renewable energy but there are always cons too. There are also cons of renewable energy such as technology required to gather renewable energy is costly. Some renewable energy sources are affected by weather making them less reliable but there are still reliable sources such as solar power because the sun rises everyday. ("Renewable Green Energy"). Although there were some cons there were many more pros to make up for these cons. There are more reasons to use renewable energy than to not use it. There are also pros of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels produce more energy then renewable energy. Fossil fuels are easy to transport from place to place. The cost of producing fossil fuels are low because they are naturally available. They are also abundantly available in many different places in the world ("Renewable Green…

    There are many different ways energy is generated in the world today. The energy type that will be most beneficial to reduce the future impact of global warming is renewable energy. Renewable energy is overall better for the environment in the future because it releases virtually no emissions that create greenhouse gases. The EPA states that Renewable energy includes solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal: including “generating renewable energy on-site, purchasing green power through…

    The burning of fossil fuels for energy is still the world’s primary source of CO2 emissions. As a result, solar technology has become a primary candidate in the era of finding new ways to create emission free energy. Solar power harnesses the energy of the sun’s rays to generate electricity that is considered environmentally friendly, or “green,” due to the almost nonexistent emission of CO2 throughout the process. The electricity produced by solar farms can then be added to the grid and…

    “The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that about 11% of world marketed energy consumption is from renewable energy sources” (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2014). Renewable energy is often referred to as green because it is a strong for the environment, or so we think. Media covers a wide variety of global warming and greenhouse gas stories, but nobody seems to have a solution to the problems. This could be in large, because being green is such a vague topic. To…

    mechanical energy. There are four laws of thermodynamics. Zeroth law of thermodynamics – If two thermodynamic systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.First law of thermodynamics – Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms. In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same. For a thermodynamic cycle the net heat supplied to the system equals the net work done by the system.Second law of…
