to believe in it. Countries around the world try to slow down global warming by trying to cut carbon emission. US, the biggest emitter of CO2 into the atmosphere have shown a sign to follow this trend. Many people look at coal, the dirtiest fossil fuel, with doubt about the future. Should coal be banned first to cut carbon emission? Although, some people advocate for leaving coal behind the new technology, reality does not allow that to happen. Cheap coal cannot abandon its obstacle to the…
energy. The next step that we can take to becoming part of the solution is to electrify everything. This means that our cars, heating, air, and water should all be created and functioning using electricity, rather than fossil fuels. This will create much less of a need for fossil fuels, which is the main reason that the atmosphere is deteriorating as fast as it is now. Another big step that we need to make is to use renewable energy for electricity. Some examples of these are using wind, solar,…
mankind can agree, the in a perfect world, the population would utilize natural resources to create energy. These sources would work well in Los Angeles because they have a positive environmental impact and they counterbalance each others energy efficiency. The ideal, location for bacterial and photovoltaic energy is Los Angeles, California. Conditions for these two energy sources consist of large amounts of the sun and excessive amounts of waste, whether sewage or food. Photovoltaic energy…
confused with fossil fuels because biomass usually relies on organic matter. According to Dr. Charlotte Williams from Imperial University’s Department of Chemistry, biomass has completely different molecules compared to that of hydrocarbons from oil. Which means that there is a chance to make high values such as plastics to fuels by creating and developing new techniques of extorting energy out of the biomass’ resources, especially plants. Biomass should be used over fossil fuels because it has…
The United States has been dependent on non-renewable fuel sources for many years. Ever since the advent of the coal powered steam engines and the internal combustion engine, fuels such as coal and oil have governed the lives and economy of the majority of Americans. These non-renewable fuels release large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which add to greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases lead to climate change and many other detrimental effects. According to the IPCC “Most of…
fossil fuel. There are way too many deadly side effects of using fossil fuels especially at the rate we use them today. Some are terrible for our environment, economy, and society. The effects that fossil fuels are having on the environment are becoming more and more irreversible, soon there will be nothing that we can do to fix our mistakes. The change to renewable sources of energy will prevent further damage and be more beneficial for the environment, as well as the economy. Fossil fuels are…
In our world today, environments are constantly changing. In order for corporations to be successful, they must manage to keep up with changing environments or they will be left in the past. Usually the most successful companies are those that are successful with adapting to change and innovating. United Parcel Service has done just that over the 109 years they’ve been delivering packages to consumers. Their constant reaction to change and innovative culture is the reason they are the worlds…
strong. Solar energy is obtained from the heat and light of the sun. Sustainable energy sources should replace traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, and nuclear power because it would help improve the environment, can stop the overuse of fossil fuel, and it can help improve the economy around the world. Sustainable energy sources should replace traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, and nuclear power because it can help improve the environment. An article named Why Renewable…
fossil fuels such as natural gas have played a major part in producing electricity. However; the most efficient way to harness this natural fuel is through a process called hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Fracking is the process in which sand, water, and chemicals are injected at high pressures to blast open rock and release the trapped natural gasses inside. As of late a new controversy has been born because of claims that fracking is a dangerous and unnecessary means of obtaining fossil…
programmes. An energy intensity-based trading scheme – the Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) mechanism for energy efficiency – was approved to establish mandatory energy efficiency targets for energy-intensive installations and electricity…
