Fossil fuel

alternative resources that we use today include nuclear energy, hydro energy, wind energy and hydroelectric energy. Alternative resources is termed to configure the differences between fossil fuels and how they contribute to society. These forms of energy are not traditional forms from which you get out of fossil fuels, but they prove to be cleaner and much safer for our environment. Renewable energy sources create energy in many different forms and ways. For example, the way that…

A lot of researchers predict that if we keep burning a lot of fossil fuels that the ice in Antarctica will continue to melt at a very high speed. Researchers also predict that rest of the ice in the world will melt around the same time as Antarctica, and warm oceans will expand. They also found out that the melting could happen in as little as a thousand years, causing the ocean to rise by about a foot per decade. Researchers found out that if the sea level was to rise about 200 feet it would…

invention of CARBON NANO TUBES. The invented tubes can store hydrogen in a better way in terms of security and efficiency. With respect to the annual production of hydrogen fuel, transportation of hydrogen to the refueling stations is a major challenge, but with the recent comprehensive research by NREI, transporting energy to the stations is made possible by the mixture of both hydrogen and natural gas in the natural gas pipelines, and this comes with a low mixing rates of 3% to 5%. And due to…

The next major renewable energy in Canada is wind-generated power, which has garnered significant attention since the 21st century, resulting from emerging wind-farming capabilities used to produce electrical energy. The development of wind-generated electricity is becoming increasingly promising as costs of production decline practically every year. Over the last ten years, Canada’s wind power has grown thirty fold; “over 3750 wind turbines generate electricity in 170 wind farms across the…

which brings so many wonderful luxuries, why are political theorists like Dipesh Chakrabarty pessimistic about the global future? Chakrabarty, in his essay “The Climate of History”, discusses the Good Life, high mass consumption, and its effect on fossil fuel use. Gas is used in every purchase because of shipment and transportation. Most electricity produced is generated by burning coal. With…

Harmful fossil fuels, including coal and oil, were previously used to make all the energy possible. These are however very harmful and nonrenewable. Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Thermal are just a few examples of many new energy producers seen today. Renewable energy sources are environmentally friendly, reduce pollution and are cost effective. Alternative Energy sources have been seen around the world for thousands…

fill the gaps in any intermittency by using the stored energy says Martin Hermann, CEO of 8minutenergy. IV. Solar Superiority You may ask, what about other renewable energy sources aren’t they awesome too? Aren’t wind and hydropower just as good? Fossil fuels can’t be that bad right? They’re so convenient. Well, since I only have 6-7 minutes I’ll focus on why wind energy is inferior to solar, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s document on the challenges of wind…

of how much more convenient it may be. Conserving and maybe even, “going a little prehistoric” will come in handy once we are using less, and preserving more. Like R. Castello once said, “You can’t save the environment, but you can preserve it.” Fossil Fuels include coal, oil, and natural gas, and they are the largest source of emission of carbon dioxide by humans. “They are the cheapest sources of energy available…

their homes and other machinery. Wind turbines, hydro generators and solar panels seems to be the safest way to produce energy but are not, and they are not guaranteed to produce the energy that is needed. Fracking is a major way in extracting fossil fuels and has been successful and guaranteed. Renewable energy sources as a main source of energy is not effective as other sources of energy nor is it environmental friendly. Creating a renewable energy plant is very difficult and when it time…

Nowadays, most daily activities of human beings rely on fossil fuels heavily such as transportation, lighting, heating and communication. However, many scientists forecast that fossil fuel will be running out in the next century. Therefore, before its exhaustion, it is necessary to develop an alternative energy. Among all renewable energies, we will discuss the pros and cons of nuclear energy, solar energy and wind energy. To begin with, nuclear energy has several major advantages. Not only a…
