Alternative energy

An alternative energy sources are so important. Wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric and biomass are needed and are alternative renewable energy that is beneficial for climate control, health benefits and the economy (Renewable Energy World. (1999). these technologies need to be explored to understand the benefits that can be argued by their use. This would prevent carbon dioxide and other gases from escaping into the air, which causes planet’s temperature to rise. The increasing the uses…

National Research Council maintains that solar energy is the answer, and Kempton claims that wind energy is best. All of these thinkers focus on alternatives to fossil fuels on a large scale, but I would like to explore the personal aspect of the debate and argue ways that individuals or homeowners in the United States…

environment, it is important to search for alternatives that will benefit our earth. Alternative energy is energy that is widely available and environment friendly. These alternative energy sources do not consume fossil fuels; instead they are nuclear, solar, wind or hydroelectrically powered. These energy forms are more environmentally friendly because they cause little or no pollution. It is important to know the different types of alternative energy because it could help benefit our…

electricity more than any previous generation. With the use of cell phones, cars, laptops, etc. energy is something that is used all twenty four hours of the day, this makes it easier for energy to be wasted. “The U.S. has an energy efficiency of 42 percent, which means 58 percent of all the energy we produce is wasted!” ( Battaglia, Sarah) There have been very creative ideas of evolving the currently used energy that is at this point depleting, but they have not been put into enough use.…

Alternative Energy is Beneficial and Economical The dilemma of discovering an infinite energy resource has long been an endeavor of people. Ever since the dawn of the industrial revolution, man has struggled to search for a sustainable resource to quench the insatiable energy needs of the society and this has led to a heavy reliance on fossil fuels whose resources are non-renewable – they cannot be replenished. The realization that some of these fossil fuel resources may not last long…

According to alternative energy organization, the world produces carbon dioxide that is release to the earth’s atmosphere everyday. The carbon dioxide that is released increases the warmth of our planet which is causing “Global Warming” (altenergy.org). How do we prevent global warming, but still produce energy? One answer is to replace the technologies that are releasing carbon dioxide with alternatives that do not release carbon dioxide (altenergy.org). We call this process alternative…

planet. In today’s world we have the technology to get energy without the burning of fossil fuels. But some people say that non-renewable energy is too much money, and not as reliable compared to the burning of fossil fuel. What I was to find is if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of using solar energy, Hydroelectric, wind energy, and Nuclear energy for our energy sources. I also want to understand how each of the non-renewable energy systems work and what technology they use.…

Have you ever wondered how a lightbulb turns on or how a car runs? These things are the result of an energy source being used. In today 's society, such things are taken for granted. We don 't live in a world where getting somewhere far is hard or being able to see at night is an issue. We live in a world where just about everything can be fixed by a flick of a switch, a turn of a key, or a push of a button. Resources are a things that should be prized, but they are not treated as such.…

Solar energy is a radiant light and heat from the Sun harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, solar thermal energy, etc .Solar energy is the best alternative energy resource for the Bronx because it 's is easily accessible. It also saves electricity, and it is a renewable source. However it may not be cost effective and cannot be used with weather other than sunny. Solar energy has multiple advantages, it also has disadvantages that can easily be fixed. One…

Can Alternative Energy Ever Replace Fossil Fuels? Climate change and increasing levels of greenhouse gases have become an ever growing problem in the world today. There are many effects of climate change that have been documented from the latter part of the twentieth century until now. This significant change is due to the introduction of industrialization in society and how it has changed the equilibrium of the atmosphere by drastically increasing levels of CO2, a gas emitted from burning…
