Renewable energy development

As of today, Nuclear Power is one of cleanest and most environmental friendly sources of energy. This is because it produces fewer greenhouse gases during production of electricity (CFF, 2017). More production of nuclear power plants would be able to help with the rising demand for clean and renewable energy. However, due to the accident that happened to the Nuclear Power plant in Japan, many people are hesitant about furthering production because people believe there are ethical issues that are…

State officials and environmentalists are worried about the potential long term effects of the oil spill on the wildlife. Compared to the other oil spills disaster, this one wasn’t as bad because the most heavily impacted area is a relatively narrow 30 mile stretch. The Yellowstone National Park isn’t affected by the oil spill, but the 30 mile stretch that was polluted by the oil spill is affected. The 30 mile stretch includes a bird watching haven. However, the good thing about the…

commitment for Maccaferri Mexico, in a world craving for energy Pipeline infrastructures can be successfully and safely protected by using Maccaferri’s MacNet™ products In a world of growing environmental dangers, triggered by climate change, and rising security issues in relation to potential terrorist threats, the protection of oil and gas infrastructures like pipelines has now become a top priority in the agenda of governments and the energy industry worldwide. When a pipeline is damaged,…

Energy Crisis in the 70’s Throughout the 1970’s, the United States of America had some trouble maintaining the amount of resources they previously had. The shortages of these resources stirred up arguments in America. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter spoke about all of these issues in the country. Conflicts in the United States of America included claims that the president didn’t actually care, parts of the energy crisis, and how the government was said to be ineffective during all of this. But,…

Some nuclear power plants benefit humans by creating a needed supply of electricity. They are usually built near water to remove the heat the reactor produces. The way that this happens is the power plants heat water to produce the electricity. With the steam that’s produced from the heated water, large turbines begin to spin that essentially generate the electricity. The nuclear power plants use the heat that is produced during nuclear fission to heat the water. A nuclear fission is when…

plants and according to the European Nuclear Society their definition of a nuclear power plant is “thermal power plant, primarily used for electricity generation, in which the nuclear binding energy released during the nuclear fission in a reactor is converted to heat and subsequently into electrical energy via a water-steam circuit using a turbine and generator”. Nuclear power plants operate in most states and can produce up to 20 percent of the nation’s power. Enrico Fermi won a Nobel Prize…

The oldest energy source used on Earth ever since our most further-in-time ancestor, the cavemen. The first thing that comes in to mind with biomass is with plants and most people will think that getting energy from plants is burning. Burning is not the only way of extracting energy from these plants. There are not only the method of burning but also others such as the decomposition by bacteria, fermentation and conversion. Fresh plants are used to obtain that energy, but also dead plants,…

fuels would produce, but it is still polluting the environment. Radioactive waste from the nuclear power plants can lead to eutrophication, initially harming aquatic life. People also say that we should use nuclear power noticing that it is semi-renewable, and that is true. The problem with this statement is that uranium is greatly scarce, and nonrenewable. Additionally, it is only available to some countries, and that makes it difficult for those without uranium to produce nuclear…

Within the articles written by Ivan Illich “Energy and Equity”, Robert Chapman’s “No Room at the Inn”, and Alf Hornborg “Fossil Fuel Interlude”, each take on the topic of how society’s utilization of energy and/or technology could shape a society’s equity and environment. Illich claimed the more energy a society used, the more it would infringe on their own rights and freedoms, ultimately their equity. Chapman goes into depth on human population and the consequences it’s growth can have on…

Phase Three is centered on becoming more energy efficiency and increasing the use of solar energy so that the increasing population will have adequate energy supplies should non-renewable energy sources become depleted. Energy efficiency can be improved by setting stricter guidelines for energy use for corporations and local businesses. These guidelines should be well enforced. Being energy efficient saves money spent on energy costs, and reduces pollution emissions. Additionally, solar panels…
