Alternative energy

renewable energy and clean power. Solar energy is can be the answer to cut air pollution and carbon emissions. Solar energy is available almost across the entire planet and is a limitless source of power. Recent innovations in photovoltaic technology has made solar energy a cheaper and viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels.The reason why solar energy is limitless because it uses energy from the sun and the sun will remain usable source for billions of years. Another reason solar energy…

discuss or highlight why South Africa has embraced wind and solar as alternative energy sources. Wind and solar are the evolving renewable sources of energy. Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that is collected from resources which are naturally refilled on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind. Solar energy is energy derived from the sun in the form of solar emission. And wind power is a form of renewable energy created through the transformation of wind into electricity…

Countries have been investing in alternative energy sources as a way to avoid using energy sources that emit harmful gases. With China and the United States at the top of the list for being the largest carbon gas emitters, both rank as the top 2 leading investors in green energy. China has a 433 gigawatts of generating capacity for renewable energy, taking first place in having the largest renewable energy market. The United States falls into second place with less than…

times, there is a great concern and discussion about the source of energy used and the impact that they have on the environment. The concept of sustainability has also been raised in the course of such discussions where experts and analysts try to enhance the ability of future generations to live and exists without any challenge that might result from the present generation as a result of using the available resources including energy. Also, there is increased concern relating to human security…

Everyday humans use electricity and other energy sources without thinking about where that power came from, or how it was harnessed. The amazing demand for energy drives innovators to continually think about new innovations to capture and harness power. The massive need for endless amounts of energy is there and few methods alone can match the energy required. In response, humans have begun their quest for a source of energy that is clean and renewable. In a recent survey, 62% of people stated…

then splits into two or more nuclei. This causes a release in significant amounts of energy as well as more neutrons. These neutrons then go on to split more nuclei and a chain reaction takes place. Fusion is basically the reverse process of fission. In this situation the nuclei collide instead and join together to form an atom larger than helium. Nuclear power plant use fission to produce very large amounts of energy. Enough to provide most of the world with electricity. It may sound like a…

Elizabeth. An energy crisis has emerged. Solar energy, though right now unreliable, has the potential to be an answer to this crisis. Solar energy defined…

Present and Justify a Problem and Solution Requirements. ^Egypt grand challenges^ 1- Reduce pollution 2- Improve sources of clean water. 3- Increase industrial base for Egypt. 4- Improve use of arid area. 5- Improve the use of alternative energies. 6- Deal with exponential population growth. 7- Reduce urban congestion. 8- Increase opportunities for Egyptians to stay and work in Egypt. 9- Work to eradicate public health issues (diseases) 10- Recycle and retain garbage for recycling…

researches conducted by Energy Commission of Nigeria and 9 Global Energy Network Institute (GENI) have concluded that 100% stable power supply from 10 renewable energy is possible in Nigeria. Yobe State (relatively rural and under developed state) 11 is located in North Eastern part of Nigeria with Damaturu as state capital. The capital itself is 12 facing serious power crisis, not getting even an hour of electricity from the…

Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. (Geo) a Latin root meaning earth and (thermo) a Greek root meaning heat, is where the word originates from. A simple way to phrase it would be that you are using renewable, heat energy from the earth. So what exactly does it do? According to an article by Alternative Energy Some forms of geothermal energy heats up groundwater. This heat eventually generates to hot spots surfacing near the surface of the crust. Examples of these hot…
