environment ((Sapkal et al. 1560). The key disadvantage is that due to the fact that the cost of producing hydrogen using renewable energy is high, methane would be the most apt candidate to generate hydrogen. In this case, the process would still rely of biofuel. The extraction of hydrogen from water also requires immense amounts of energy , energy (Electricity) has to be run through it to separate the atoms, and this raises the issue to sustainability and environmental impact of how this…

Growing up, we get to decide what our life dreams and goals are. I think in a democratic nation that we should be given the tools to succeed and the freedom to do as we…

Global warming is the process in which sunlight that is being redirected back into space gets trapped inside of the Earth’s atmosphere due to the abundance of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The more heat that is trapped and absorbed by such gases causes the overall temperature of Earth to rise. It is natural and anthropogenic – human induced – climate changes that are attributed to increased gases in the greenhouse effect, though anthropogenic changes play a larger role in global…
