Energy policy

traditional water heater is about 10 years, you may need a complete replacement. Fortunately, replacing with a tankless model offers numerous benefits. Energy Efficiency A standard model ewater heater uses energy continuously, whether you are using hot water or not, but a tankless model only uses energy when it is necessary. This reduces your home’s total energy usage, benefiting the environment and reducing your…

Should Creatine be Banned? Many athletes are taking this supplement Creatine to enhance their power and speed by increasing muscle repair. There are two questions that I will be answering. Is Creatine safe to consume and should be banned? To answer this question you must first know what Creatine is and what it does. Creatine is a supplement that is able to increase the rate of muscle repair. Creatine reduces fatigue and can help you get stronger faster. There are many contradictions when it…

The Sun is far from fully understood and today the two biggest questions related to the Sun is the reason for the high temperature in the corona and how to explain the sunspot cycle \cite{PB}.

Only about 25% of the country of Darwin is electrified. For those who are not on the electric grid, lighting is primarily done by kerosene lamps and homemade candles. Kerosene fuel can cost as much as 50 cents a night, a substantial amount of money considering most Haitians only make about 2 dollars a day. Besides cost, kerosene also has many negative health risks, specifically harmful fumes and the risk of broken glass and fire. Due to these factors, many Haitians do not have much if any…

After collecting all the results into the above experiment data tables and line graph, it is evident that there is not a great difference in the rate of transpiration between the cold water and water at room temperature. The results in the experiment indicate that cold water transpires at a faster rate than water at room temperature. The results were measured from 0 to 30 minutes. At the fifteen minute mark the transpiration rate for both differed slightly. In trial two and three, the results…

average professional basketball player trains six days a week, one – three times a day and in order to maintain this high intensity, extensive training they must ensure that their bodies are getting the nutrition they need. The main source of this energy comes from a high carbohydrate intake, as it helps to fuel the body for the amount of training each athlete does. High-density carbohydrate foods are what a basketball player’s diet is significantly made up of; cereal, fruit, wholegrain bread…

Photosynthesis is like a squirrel that saves acorns for winter. This squirrel’s name is Chester. Chester must use his skills and some of his energy to go out and save up acorns for winter, which will provide him with energy when he needs it. He must expend some energy now to gain more energy in the future. The acorns he saves will later be broken down (eaten), and used for energy. They are stored in his tree until the period of time that Chester needs them. Plants and photosynthesis work…

with the environment (Akin, 2011; Kemp & Krockenberger, 2002;). In Biomimicry, through studying thermoregulation, human beings can apply nature’s techniques to architecture when designing buildings. Present temperature systems are using a lot of energy, especially to control heat and cooling loads. (Carpi 2010). Thermoregulatory mechanisms include passive thermoregulation and active thermoregulation; by studying butterflies and birds more effective climate systems can be developed, leaving a…

Work itself is gift that should be embraced by all. Civilization, one of the human race's’ greatest achievements would not be possible without work. Most of the population of Earth have at least one major problem in their lives, and work in general of any and all kinds can provide a stable environment, build character, and be a “rock” in someone's life. Many people think of work as something they have to do, but when work is no longer an option they miss it, loose their senses of accomplishment,…

Is it possible for a star to burn cold? The answer is not as simple as you may think; while all sars burn hot, there are some cold enough to touch (if you survive the vacuum of space). In 2011, NASA’s satellite WISE discovered six Y-Dwarf stars burning as cold as ice, not even forty light years away from our own sun. This type of star is often referred to as a Brown Dwarf, or a failed star. There are three types of Brown Dwarfs; L-Dwarf, T-Dwarf, and Y-Dwarf, the Y-Dwarf being the coldest.…
