Non-renewable resource

Mineral resources is a concentration of naturally occurring solid, liquid, or gaseous material in or on the earth’s crust that can be extracted and processed into useful materials at an affordable cost. Mineral resources are essential to support sustainable economic growth and our quality of life. Therefore, it is important to have sufficient supply of materials to provide for infrastructure, buildings, energy and goods. However, since mineral resources are nonrenewable natural resource, and…

50% of the country’s total population have access to national 8 power grid electricity. Separate researches conducted by Energy Commission of Nigeria and 9 Global Energy Network Institute (GENI) have concluded that 100% stable power supply from 10 renewable energy is possible in Nigeria. Yobe State (relatively rural and under developed state) 11 is located in North Eastern part of Nigeria with Damaturu as state capital. The capital itself is 12 facing serious power crisis, not getting even an…

either provide or attain a service. The earliest signs of technology are when humans began developing simple tools from natural resources found in the environment. Over time, this scientific innovation has brought cars, mobile phones, electricity, and other inventions that were brought to life that we use in our everyday lives. However, as we keep using the earth’s resources to create these wonderful machines, we keep taking more than the Earth can give. With production increasing along with…

(McCarthy “Greenhouse Gas Emissions”). Most commonly, it is emitted by Americans driving cars. Even though driving cars and burning fossil fuels does pollute the environment, no renewable energy source comes close to generating the same amount of energy that fossil fuels do. Nevertheless, the burning and usage of these non-renewable fossil fuels can have long term devastating effects if not payed attention too. For example, with increasing levels of greenhouse gases being added daily, the…

energy has created more demand for more resources. The population and technology influences the need for energy. This energy is not just in our lights and heat but in our transportation needs as well as other life systems. Currently coal, gas, and oils power most of our needs while renewable energy is following behind and being used in some portions. The need to bring renewable energies into focus is one in which our business and communities can do. Renewable clean energy sources can help use…

There are many types of renewable energy sources, but wind energy is the energy resource of the future. The demand for wind energy is increasing, so this means that the number of wind turbines needs to increase. The wind turbines are what produces the energy that comes from the wind rotating the wind turbines, without these there would be no way to capture the energy produced by the wind to use it at as the need arises. In the article “A…

have the technology to get energy without the burning of fossil fuels. But some people say that non-renewable energy is too much money, and not as reliable compared to the burning of fossil fuel. What I was to find is if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of using solar energy, Hydroelectric, wind energy, and Nuclear energy for our energy sources. I also want to understand how each of the non-renewable energy systems work and what technology they use.…

Whether or Not America Should Make the Shift to Renewable Energy? The concept of a shining future fueled by an infinite cache of energy has existed for ages. Yet, in the current year of 2015, that concept is still far from being a reality. Many countries around the world are still highly dependent on fossil fuels in order to meet their daily needs. Why, in a time full of ever advancing technology, is this the case? Should America make the shift to renewable energy a priority? Opinions vary…

Wind power or wind energy has been a growing renewable energy in a few countries. Countries like China, the USA, and Germany are the leaders in this type of energy. I wanted to see what wind power could do in developing countries and what is being done to unsure developing countries can have access to renewable energy like wind power. With our planet warming and climate changes it is important that most of the planet is on board with new technologies that could lead to living a cleaner life.…

unless we can solve our non-renewable energy issue: fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Once we run out, progress will be put to a grinding halt and it will be nearly impossible to recover. This stands the largest issue of my generation, what we will be dealing with in only a few decades, something my parents never needed to regard. It is paramount that we regulate consumption of non-renewable energy sources, and devote further resources to research and development of renewable energy sources so…
