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…

The use of renewable energy can lessen the dependency on import of fossil fuel from other countries and stimulate the development of new and most efficient technologies; however, there is some disadvantages in unlimited sources. The installation and maintenance prices are higher than non-renewable. Eolic energy demand a large…

petrol and similar volatile fuels. The fuel mixing was done in carburettor in earlier days but now it is done using fuel injection. Petrol engines runs at higher speed than diesel engine, this is due to the small size of piston. Petrol engine has many applications like: 1) Motorcars 2) Motorcycles 3) Aircrafts 4) Motorboats Diesel engine: It is also called compression-ignition engine. It is an IC engine that uses of heat of compression for ignition and burning of fuels. It has highest…

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…

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…

environmental impact and nuclear accidents. One issue is environmental impact relating to uranium (radioactive metal used as a fuel in nuclear reactors). Uranium is a source of fuel and exists in few countries. It produces a lot of waste and can result in serious health effects if it is not handled properly. Transporting nuclear fuel to and from plants is a big pollution hazard, and once the fuel is used, it is radioactive and dangerous and can cause a nuclear accident. Radioactive waste is a…

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…

The world is at a point in its history when it realizes it’s time for a change. That change being a move away from fossil fuels towards cleaner, renewable sources of energy. Many companies are creating ways the average individual can contribute to a cleaner future. Whether it’s by the creation of hybrid and electric cars or allowing people to install solar panels on their roofs and wind turbines in their backyards. However, these new sources of energy are far from perfect and will require years…

There are both pros and cons to fossil fuel, some advantages of fossil fuel are its cheaper and more reliable and the income from the sales help the countries encomony. Cons of fossil fuel is that pollution from the fuel can be the cause of global warming and fossil fuel is a non-renewable. Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear fission used to generate electricity. There are both pors and…

depends on a finite resource: fossil fuels. Easily accessible deposits of fossil fuels are dwindling, prompting stakeholders on both sides of the aisle to innovate and present options that either prolong the usage of our current energy sources, or harness renewable resources to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases. Firmly backed by the President of the United States and top research institutions, solar energy, specifically converting light energy into liquid fuels, warrants discussion. However,…
