of energy use in the future, to be monitored by the newly created Swedish Energy Agency: advocate for “efficient and sustainable energy use and a cost-effective energy supply”("Energy Use in Sweden"). Increasing the use of nuclear and hydroelectric power created a positive outcome, resulting in carbon emission 14 tonnes lower than the US’. Sweden also implemented a five year program to diminish certain industries’ energy consumption in exchange for tax relief, which…

American Recreational Space Station). This will be my home for 15 years. You are probably wondering how I got here. Ever since I was five years old, I wanted to travel to space. Due to my good grades in math and science, I was able to enter into a competition to be the first to go to a space station resort and school orbiting earth. The station was constructed in 2050 and will be open to the public in 2060. Me and 4 other people are going to test and maintain the station. “Thrusters engaged,…

towards mankind’s greatest achievement: The International Space Station (ISS). IT began as just an idea in the Industrial Revolution later being grown to a huge project. The ISS is not just a space station but the future for humanity: earth is being depleted of its resources and mankind is going to need to move to another planet. That is where the ISS comes and solves the problem astronauts and cosmonauts are in the ISS…

Stephenson, he nonetheless wrote this book expertly. His amazing use of science and ingenuity really brings this book to perfection. His insights into the human psyche is impressive. The book begins right before the Agent -- an unknown force of awesome power -- destroys the moon. For the first week, everyone just stares at seven large pieces of what used to be the moon, still held together by their common center of mass. Scientists quickly determine that the explosion will result in more…

magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami with waves peaking at 17 meters hit Japan on March 11, 2011. Three of the reactors at Fukushima overheated because the cooling systems failed after a tsunami flooded the power station and disabled the reactor cooling system which causing core meltdowns and make reactors impossible to restart . This was compounded by hydrogen gas explosions and released large amounts of radioactive material into the air, and the releases continue to this day. The accident…

conflict. Eventually, a majority of the nations of Europe allied themselves with one of two alliances. One alliance, the Triple Entente, originally consisted of France, the United Kingdom, and the Russian Empire, whereas the other alliance, the Central Powers, included Germany and Austria-Hungary. The equity of the two alliances prolonged the war over several years and exhausted the resources, human and matériel, of the nations involved. On account of the colonial empires of the combatants,…

Geothermal power: 9 Appendix 10 Conclusions 13 References: 14 Abstract Renewable energy systems can provide clean, reliable, secure and competitive energy products and services to help meet the rapidly increasing global energy demand. In a carbon-constrained world of the future, renewable energy sources with zero net greenhouse gas emissions will have an increasingly important role to play. Being widely distributed, renewable energy sources have the potential to provide electric power,…

and Controversy of Nuclear Power The creation of nuclear energy has changed the world but, it has affected someone people a little bit closer. Lindsey Schiller, a registered nurse, and her husband and two children have been living next to a nuclear power plant almost a decade now. Currently neighboring the Limerick Generating Station nuclear energy facility in Pottstown, Schiller jokingly states “We kid around when we get really big flowers ... we 're under the power plant, and I kid around…

Japan's northern coast lays on the Pacific Ocean, which is greatly known for its tsunamis and its earthquakes. The plant at Fukushima first opened in 1971 and consists of six separate boiling water reactors. It was one of the fifteen largest nuclear power plants in the world and was the only plant at the time to be designed and constructed by General Electric. The 9.0 magnitude earthquake damaged a nuclear plant in Japan. This nuclear plant is located in Fukushima. The earthquake damaged…

electricity by Hydropower. Hydropower is a movement of water that flows downstream to create Kinetic Energy, which can be converted into electricity. Hydroelectric plants convert the energy into electricity by forcing water. The hydropower produces electric power through the use of flowing water or the gravitational force. Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy resource; for hydropower to generate electricity it uses the water cycle. For hydropower to generate a lot of electricity it is mostly…
