Alternative fuel

scientists are working to build sustainable energy sources such as solar panels. Given unlimited resources researchers could investigate and find an alternative to power the planet without harming the environment or the economy. Currently the main supply of energy on which vehicles, buildings, televisions and anything that runs on electricity depends on fossil fuels. Nearly all vehicles run on gasoline, if gasoline was to end how…

“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…

Alternative Energy is the future. We need clean, renewable energy, since our current sources of energy are dirty and finite. Current non-renewable power sources include coal power, natural gas power, and other fossil fuels. These fuel sources create heat, which boils water and makes steam. This steam turns a turbine, which turns a generator, which makes electricity. The advantage to using these sources is that they are inexpensive. The disadvantage is that they are dirty sources of power. They…

As it is, coal has been useful to humans for heating purposes and as fuel for machinery. The Industrial Revolution helped uncover this treasure as a primary source for fuel. The first examples would include Richard Arkwright’s introduction to the first factory, and James Watt’s innovations on the steam engine, which entirely revolutionized the ways in which consumer…

all of this progress is now under threat as since January 2016 the tax credit has been cancelled. This poses a huge threat to the progress that has been made (Downey, 2015). While these advances are small in comparison to the production of fossil fuels, how can it be argued that renewable energy sooner or later will be the…

best way to cut down on this huge bill is to convert schools that still run on fossil fuels, also known as conventional schools, into eco-friendly schools, most commonly referred to as green schools. Continued use of conventional schools,…

Nigeria has one of the lowest electricity generation per capita rate in the world resulting 6 in shortage of power supply and heavy dependence on fossil fuels (79 % of total). At present, 7 only 10% of rural households and 50% of the country’s total population have access to national 8 power grid electricity. Separate 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…

Alternative energies are becoming a major focus point as climate change reports are showing staggering statistics on how negatively fossil fuels are effecting the earth’s climate. Per the Government of Canada (2016), human activity has been the number one cause of climate change on earth. The suns intensity and volcanic activity are the only natural causes to climate change today. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are the leading causes of today’s climate change…

In the modern world most everything runs on fossil fuel, but there is one major flaw in fossil fuels. New methods are needed to generate power; we need an alternative energy source so that we do not run out of fuel. We need alternative energy for many reasons mainly because we are running out of fuel but also because we are polluting this world, alternative energy can produce “clean” energy that will provide a new power source without polluting this world. In this article I will talk about these…
