Lomborg’s fossil fuel advertising”, Lenferna (2016) criticises Lomborg’s view that Africa needs fossils fuels. He argues that Africa should develop cost effective, renewable and low carbon electricity that could alleviate the African people from poverty and provide significant benefits to the local communities. Hence, Lenferna asserts that Africa must be encouraged to actualise a domestic green energy revolution. Firstly, Lenferna discredits Lomborg’s view that Africa needs fossil fuels. He…

INTRODUCTION Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas have dominated and supplied most of the world’s energy needs for decades. As the dominant energy supply, it is not likely to be eliminated. It is thought to remain persistently in the environment for the next few generations. Fossil fuels have many long term consequences; for starters they are not a renewable source, thus they can deplete faster than they can be renewed. Not only are they exhaustible, they are a major threat to the…

2.2.2 ECONOMIC LOAD DISPATCH The primary concern of an economic dispatch problem is to minimize the fuel cost of thermal power plants for a given load demand subject to the operating constraints of a power system. Therefore, it can be formulated mathematically with an objective function and constraints 2.2.2.1 Objective Function The primary objective of any ELD problem is to reduce the operational cost by fulfilling the load demand within limit of constraints. The various kinds of objective…

Alternative energy should replace nonrenewable fossil fuels to better the environment in the United States. The ozone layer is decreasing as greenhouse gases in fossil fuels are increasing. There is an increase in pollution in the atmosphere, which can cause health problems for people breathing in these pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and other fluorinated gases. The continued use of fossil fuels over time has led to the need for alternative energy…

Currently the main source of energy used in the United States is Fossil Fuels. Our overdependence on Fossil Fuels has lead to some negative changes in the Earth’s climate and physical form. Lucky, there have been new advances in technology over the past century. Various forms of renewable energy have been discovered and tested by scientist and over the past decade have become more well known to the public. The development of of these renewable energy sources give us the opportunity to change the…

My second critical response essay is on the reading Getting Fossil Fuels Off the Plate by Michael Bomford. This reading is about how food is grown, processed, and transported around the world and how much energy it takes to get food from its origin to your plate. Our aptitude to obtain food with ease is our most treasured resource, but regrettably our present structures of food production, especially agriculture, are causative to the failing strength of the world’s air and water, while…

Alternative fuels should be used more than fossil fuels such as solar power,electric cars, and windmills are much more efficient than fossil fuels.They do not produce CO2 into the air,unlike fossil fuels they put our environment into harm's way, and they do not help stop CO2 emission.Electric cars are a good example as an alternative fuel they don’t waste gas or don’t have exhaust which is good because they don’t produce CO2 into the air. For example the electric car company tesla,they also…

Tech Assignment – Fossil Fuels 1. Describe in detail what fossil fuels are and how they are formed - Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons, meaning they contain only hydrogen and carbon atoms. They are also the simplest form of organic compounds. These hydrocarbons include coal, crude oil and natural gas and they originate from pre existing organisms. Oil and gas are generally formed from the remains of marine organism whilst coal is formed from the remains of vegetation on land, usually in swampy or…

As noted in the book, The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein, 87 percent of energy used by humans today is from fossil fuels alone. That’s 94 million barrels, or over 675 million tons of oil burned up each day. Furthermore, this only accounts for 40 percent of the energy consumed each individual day! Coal and natural gas make…

Automotive companies should make more fuel efficient engines. If they do then people with them will save. With a fuel efficient engine people will spend less money on gas. People will be able to travel further. When traveling with a fuel efficient engine you will be able to travelling further. The vehicle will run smoother on roads. When driving on a road there will be less gas flowing to the engine which means you won't feel it. Driving with a fuel efficient engine will make it smoother on…
