Hydropower

sources of energy that are naturally occurring and regenerate at a rapid rate” (Codington-Lacerte). Since they regenerate they never truly go away they just time to restore. There are actually 8 ways of producing sustainable energy: solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, OTEC, tidal, biomass, and hydrogen. “The conventional energy sources for electric power generation, heating and cooling systems, and transportation are fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) and nuclear power”…

Global warming is one of the biggest threats in the future to the planet we live on. We are starting to see the effects of global warming around us today, but it is nothing compared to what is to come if we don’t start taking care of the planet now. According to alternative energy organization, the world produces carbon dioxide that is release to the earth’s atmosphere everyday. The carbon dioxide that is released increases the warmth of our planet which is causing “Global Warming”…

Discussion Board 2: Goal of planning Definition: “Planning, a crucial function of management, is setting goals for specific results and determining how to achieve those results. The goal of planning is to anticipate as many future events as possible in order to successfully formulate a course of action, increase revenues, and satisfy owner requirements.” (Satterlee, 2013, p. 64) Summary: Vedpuriswar, director at Cognizant Technology Solutions and author of a great number of articles about global…

Alternative Energy is the future. We need clean, renewable energy, since our current sources of energy are dirty and finite. Current non-renewable power sources include coal power, natural gas power, and other fossil fuels. These fuel sources create heat, which boils water and makes steam. This steam turns a turbine, which turns a generator, which makes electricity. The advantage to using these sources is that they are inexpensive. The disadvantage is that they are dirty sources of power. They…

Humans Need To Change the Way They Think About Coral Reefs What can be done by humans to take better of the world’s coral reefs? Many people don’t realize that coral reefs are a necessity to support marine life. Currently it is estimated that 10% of the world’s coral reefs have been wiped out and in the Philippines 70% of the coral reefs have been destroyed because of human intervention (Coral Reef Destruction and Conservation). This will be one of humanity’s biggest problems in the near…

Brazil is the fifth largest in the world in both area as well as…

Part of that change would be to use clean energy opposed to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas provide around 80% of the world’s energy. Clean energy is geothermal, hydropower, nuclear, solar and wind. According to Hansen, “We can’t burn all these fossil fuels. There is no recognition of this in government policies.” This group of minds have laid out an outline of why global warming is manmade. They argue that fossil…

An increase in water resource developments such as impoundments, diversion weirs, interbasin water transfers, and extraction of water from aquifers have drastically changed flow regimes. The primary water demands include use for agriculture, hydropower generation, industry, and domestic supply, which have impacted ecological ecosystems (Rosenberg et al., 2000). The importance of a river’s flow regime for sustaining biodiversity and ecological integrity has been well studied over the last past…
