Renewable energy

“The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that about 11% of world marketed energy consumption is from renewable energy sources” (U.S. Energy Information Administration, 2014). Renewable energy is often referred to as green because it is a strong for the environment, or so we think. Media covers a wide variety of global warming and greenhouse gas stories, but nobody seems to have a solution to the problems. This could be in large, because being green is such a vague topic. To…

situation in the fossil fuel industry, however, everyone lost their jobs due to the fact that fossil fuels were banned? Debate on whether or not fossil fuels should be banned is vivid, it should not at all banned. A variety of people condone that non-renewable energy is just unmistakably unacceptable since it releases greenhouse gases that are nasty for the environment with other demerits. Nevertheless, without practical or feasible research and instead basing the facts off of unreliable sources…

covered a range of global issues that need to be dealt with by 2030. The 7th goal emphasizing on closing the energy gap and ensure that sustainable, safe and modern energy services are accessible globally. It also aims to double the energy efficiency without having to compromise the increase in the share of renewable energy in the global energy production. “If access to modern energy services were an independent human right, obligations would be imposed on states, both at the national and…

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 hour of electricity from the…

MAKING SOLAR ENERGY MORE ECONOMICAL: (SAFETY, WEIGHT BENEFIT, MATERIAL COST AND WOW FACTOR) Noah Garcia, Hongyu Chen, Pablo Bribiesca, Mohammed Ali Our group the Dream Green Team has only one goal in mind. To Make solar energy more economical. To make solar energy more economical a few things can be done. The cost to build solar panels can be decreased, the efficiency can be increased, or the storage of the energy can be more efficient. In the past decade solar panels have been improved…

Wind: An Energy Source Alternative Wind power is a renewable source of energy. Wind turbines convert the wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power. Wind energy is viewed as a clean alternative to fossil fuels and can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wind energy can provide a lot of benefits to the ecosystem and economy of the United States. While wind energy does have a lot of perks, some people argue that wind energy is an expensive and…

The Great Transition: Shifting from Fossil Fuels to Solar and Nuclear Energy is a book that presents a definitively anti-fossil fuels stance on renewable energy written by Lester Brown, a lauded environmental scientist with more than 50 years of experience in the field of renewable energy who is certainly qualified to write about the topic. In the first half of the book, he discusses why society should phase out usage of fossil fuels, especially coal, as quickly as possible in order to prevent…

mainly relies on fossil fuels for its energy production. This has allowed for heavy release of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases. The current population, in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, according to the 2011 census is an estimated 6.4 million. The actual number over the past few years will have increased dramatically and so has the need for an efficient energy source. The main issue with Ireland’s overall energy production is that majority…

Wind Energy Saves the World The need for renewable energy implementation is essential around the world to ensure a sustainable worldwide community and healthy environment. Each and every day more CO2 is wildly thrown into the air by common energy producing practices such as coal burning and nuclear reactors. These practices are reckless and are absolutely detrimental to the surrounding ecosystem and even ecosystems hundreds of miles away. Implementation of wind energy as the major player of the…

Is Biomass a better source of energy than Geothermal for meeting Canada’s energy needs in the 21st century? Biomass is biological material obtained from living or recently living (dead) plant or animal matter such as trees or waste that can be processed into fuel and heat. While geothermal energy is produced by obtaining the heat from the earth’s core but currently has no developed sites in Canada. We believe that biomass is a better energy source than geothermal power for meeting Canada’s…
