Fuels

changed over time. Before the year 1890, oil was used for our roads, architectural adhesives, ship caulks, medicines, lighting, heating, Greek Fire, religious ceremonies, and many more. After the year 1890, we started using oil for the gasoline that fuels our cars. But let’s go back further. What about the Natives? Did they use oil? Why, yes they did. Natives,…

Imagine, just for a second, the Earth without any people. Just let you imagination create this beautiful place where all creature are at its naturally given place. Don’t be selfish! Just imagine it and you can go back to being self-centered and ungrateful in a second. Imagine the perfect tranquility in a chaotic, natural sequence of events. Imagine standing in the middle of the rainforest and looking at world through a tiny drop of dew that’s sitting on the patal of an orchid. Perfect,right?…

Solar panels are the future of energy. Fossil fuels are in limited supply and until now, it was thought nothing could replace them. Our only hope for future energy relies on a renewable energy source that is both reliable and cheap. For the answer we look to photovoltaic energy (energy from the sun). One of the chief producers of photovoltaic energy is the solar panel. Each new generation of solar panels produces more energy cheaper than the previous making it a viable solution to energy…

We can accomplish this by cutting the use of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxide is responsible for more than half of the greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere followed by methane and nitrous. Burning coal and gas for energy like heat, electricity, and the fuel to run vehicles is the main source of carbon dioxide pollution. Driving alone is one of the main sources of gas pollution; to make it worse, us commuting…

greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. They retain heat. One of the greenhouse gases that have the biggest effect is Carbon dioxide which is released into that atmosphere through cell respiration in living organisms and combustion of biomass and fossil fuels. It is then removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis…

The way that Australia gets it's power is mainly from 7 different technology forms. One is wind power. They whole use turbines to catch the wind and transfer it to power. Another way is solar. They would use solar power panels to turn sun rays into power. There are actually two different types of solar panels. One is called a solar PV that just goes on the roof or a yard to generate enough power for the house. Another is called a CSP solar panel. This panel stretches across a plain and gives…

one why or why not? The pros of having an electric vehicle would be less expensive fuel, we all know that the prices of gasoline are going up because the limited fossil fuel that well eventually run out, and let’s be realistic here by saying that no everyone enjoys paying for their gas, plus electric vehicles are much friendlier on the environment with no tailpipe emissions they have less dependency on fossil fuels. Not only does an electric vehicle help eliminate your carbon footprint but it…

There are a lot of causes that causes global warming. First of all, burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal to generate the electricity and to run the vehicles, traps the gas which cause global warming. The more we burn the fossil fuels, the faster the climate will change. Second cause of global warming is deforestation. Plants absorb the carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. However, when trees are…

nuclear, 40% the cost of fossil fuel, and 25% the cost of using natural gas.” This amount of hydroelectricity will be about $3 trillion in investment and make about 60 trillion kWhs of electricity. Telling them them how my energy resource benefits our area, economy and community. I would start off by letting them know hydroelectricity is fueled by water. Which means that it's a clean source, meaning it won't cause pollution in the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels such as coal or…

process of global warming. With the increase in population the vast amount of electricity is often abused and overlooked as it creates an exceeding amount of greenhouse gases to contribute to global warming. With many types of global warming, fossil fuels is the biggest contributor to our downfall. There are many alternatives to reduce the amounts of global warming, however, solar energy is the most beneficial. With the current climate crisis revolving around earth,…
