Sustainable energy

for renewable energy. Problems including the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere and the inevitable depletion of these nonrenewable energy sources have motivated a handful of countries to start the transition. Notably, Sweden has goals to “increase renewable energy to 50 percent of national supply by 2020,” reducing its need for environmentally harmful, nonrenewable sources, like oil ("Energy Use in Sweden"). While Sweden has made great strides in switching to renewable energy…

Everyone has heard of presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Whether you see her on a debate or on Fox News, you probably have heard a lot about her. On the other hand, not everyday do we hear about her fellow Democrat running, Bernie Sanders. What distinguishes Sanders from all other candidates is that he refuses to accept large campaign contributions from large corporations. This allows him to remain uninfluenced by corporate interests. Other candidates may find it difficult to ignore…

One of the most interesting topics for me that I would be interested in starting a business with is Renewable Energy innovations. I would chose these products because of their viability for the future. With growing automation products, there will be fewer options for career fields, however this field is one of the most stable industries especially with the introduction of tax rebates and government subsidies. These are only some of the appealing aspects of this industry. The most attractive…

support under its Smart City sharing economy program, Smart City programs being offered by other agencies did not. The following review of select programs within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Commerce (DOC), Department of Energy (DOE), and Department of Justice (DOJ) applies the factors that might be used by Federal officials to determine whether a proposed project investment is better suited to take place in St. Louis, MO, versus another eligible city. DHS Next…

In August 2016, a New York State Board agreed to grant a multi-billion dollar subsidy to the state’s nuclear energy sector. This subsidy is to be government mandated through the forcing of utility companies to purchase and pay nuclear power plants in zero-emission credits, thereby subsidizing nuclear plants’ operations. By creating this subsidy, the government is effectively saving three nuclear power plants in Upstate New York from permanent closures; however, at the expense of the tax-payer…

1. INTRODUCTION The need for electrical energy and its global impact, ever since it’s being used is phenomenal. Hence, there is an immense pressure on all nation’s for ensuring electrical energy security. In this report, some key aspects of electrical energy statistics, both technical and economical are discussed and then compared between the United Kingdom** and Republic of India. 2. UNITED KINGDOM The United Kingdom is one among the large economies in the world and is also a “pioneer for…

bills. To lower-income families, the electric bill makes up a larger part of their residential bills, making up [up to] 26% of the bills. Currently the energy power that America is using is not safe for the people and the biosphere while being extremely expensive to build and run. Though it would be a lump sum of money at first,…

cladding (solar activated façade) The innovating building material I am going to write about is The Solar –thermal cladding . This type of cladding is the new type of cladding whereby solar panels are added to the cladding to form a more efficient and sustainable materials for all sorts of buildings. ( Eco building pulse, 2016) This is a new style where by the solar panels are hidden and are covered by materials such as wood , at this moment in time this kind of technology is building done and…

Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. (Geo) a Latin root meaning earth and (thermo) a Greek root meaning heat, is where the word originates from. A simple way to phrase it would be that you are using renewable, heat energy from the earth. So what exactly does it do? According to an article by Alternative Energy Some forms of geothermal energy heats up groundwater. This heat eventually generates to hot spots surfacing near the surface of the crust. Examples of these hot…
