Dear, Mr. Gary Peters, and Mrs. Debbie Stabenow: Mankind’s need for energy has been in place since the beginning of time. Over time, innovators have found different sources for energy. Around the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, oil, coal, and other fossil fuels integrated into everyday culture. People used every resource possible to fuel their businesses and homes with little thought towards the environment. Over the years, researchers discovered the dangers and limits of fossil…

Urban sprawl is an inattentive issue that continues to harm the future of the world, unless the problem is addressed. The concept of urban sprawl is the “uncontrolled spread of urban development into neighboring regions” (“Urban Sprawl”). Across the globe, there has been urban sprawl in major cities, without consideration of future consequences. As society focal point is on celebrities and fashion, the focus on the destruction of the environment is not being acknowledged. The sprawl leaves…
difficult to design a dirty bomb that would be able to deliver large enough doses of radiation to cause a large number of fatalities or cause immediate…
make the system work happens at the central receivers or solar towers, located in fields. The towers have the similar mirror panels, called heliostats, that are found on the roofs of the houses. Their job is to receive and change the sunlight to thermal energy, which is powered by a generator (Union of Concerned Scientists 40). The last piece that completes the solar energy process requires a parabolic dish, which uses a saucer to collect the energy ( ) on top of buildings or houses.…
energy produced from the sun can be used to heat, air condition, and illuminate people’s homes and businesses (“2015 Learning”). One of the first people to see the potential in solar power was John Herschel, a British astronomer, who used a solar thermal collector box to heat his meals in Africa, in the 1830s (U.S. Energy Info. Adm.). Over a century later, in 1954, Bell Laboratories created the first solar cell, the genesis of everything powered by the solar energy. During the 1960s, the space…

The use of napalm Napalm has been one of the most controversial and destructive war weapons that has been used in modern times, with little international political restriction, although the use of napalm is morally wrong in many people 's minds. The use of this weapon dates back to World War ll, with its development in a highly classified lab at Harvard University. Napalm saw its first widespread use in the burning of Japanese cities during the end of the war in the Pacific. This chemical was…
just one example of the many species that are put in danger through further development of these geographical regions. Insects and animals can also die if they fly over an area containing a concentrated beam of sunlight that is typical for solar thermal power…
Foreword There are a multitude of environmental issues created by traditional urban design systems. One major issue facing urban and suburban areas is the Urban Heat Island Syndrome. An urban heat island is the effect of built environment and human activity on ambient air temperature. Basically, concrete and asphalt structures with human activity can absorb high levels of heat from the sun. According to the EPA, buildings and pavements can heat up to 90oF hotter than the air; then in the evening…
