and strong. Solar energy is obtained from the heat and light of the sun. Sustainable energy sources should replace traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, and nuclear power because it would help improve the environment, can stop the overuse of fossil fuel, and it can help improve the economy around the world. Sustainable energy sources should replace traditional energy sources such as oil, coal, and nuclear power because it can help improve the environment. An article named Why Renewable…

which brings so many wonderful luxuries, why are political theorists like Dipesh Chakrabarty pessimistic about the global future? Chakrabarty, in his essay “The Climate of History”, discusses the Good Life, high mass consumption, and its effect on fossil fuel use. Gas is used in every purchase because of shipment and transportation. Most electricity produced is generated by burning coal. With…

potential to decrease monthly bills, the excessive costs of installation discourages potential investors. Besides the obviously inflated costs, renewable energy is also notoriously inefficient, which is one of the primary reasons why people still rely on fossil fuels. If clouds block out the sun, then solar panels drop in efficiency , if the wind dies down, then wind turbines become incredibly useless, and if warm water reservoirs suddenly become cold, geothermal energy ceases to be of any use.…

energy. The next step that we can take to becoming part of the solution is to electrify everything. This means that our cars, heating, air, and water should all be created and functioning using electricity, rather than fossil fuels. This will create much less of a need for fossil fuels, which is the main reason that the atmosphere is deteriorating as fast as it is now. Another big step that we need to make is to use renewable energy for electricity. Some examples of these are using wind, solar,…

The newest fashion statement all the way from Southeastern Asia is colorful, inexpensive, innovative, and protective. Face masks can be self-decorated with any original design and have been a common accessory in China as people face the ominous threat that their own air poses to them. However, having poor air quality is not a situation unique to the Chinese only, despite Beijing being the better known through news sources. Cities in India and Pakistan claim the top 7 most polluted cities…

The making and absorption of carbon dioxide by the environment happen naturally on earth. However, the recent extremely high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can be blamed on human activity (EPA 9). In the UK alone, they produced 655 million tons of carbon dioxide in 2005 (Gill, Smith, and Wilkinson 3). This fact is especially staggering when you realize that because it is gas, it takes a lot more of it to make a ton than something like wood or iron would. The countries of the world…

humans are indeed responsible for the misery of many people. However, humans are not completely to blame because nature also plays a considerable role in causing carnage to our society. Over time, society has released detrimental substances such as fossil fuels into the atmosphere, which have provoked natural disasters to occur more frequently. Contrarily, in "Going to Extremes" Linda…

Coal Seam Gas (CSM) which some refer to as Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is one of the forms of unconventional gases that is located in coals deep in underground earth layers. The process of CSM extraction involves digging deep wells in earth, casing the wells for protection and pumping out gases and water which is already in the coals. Recovering these types of resources sometimes require simulations and fracking coal beds which involves the usage of water and chemicals. In addition, these acts of…

Renewable Energy * Wind * Solar * Geothermal * Biomass * Hydroelectric Wind Energy Wind Energy is an effect of the sun 's uneven heating of the atmosphere. Wind energy is commonly harnessed by turbines. Wind is formed when warm air expands and rises up, while cold air condenses and sinks. Wind energy can be used to power boats or even charge a battery. Although, it 's almost a perfect choice, it has its setbacks. The generators need a lot of land in order to function properly and if…

power their homes and other machinery. Wind turbines, hydro generators and solar panels seems to be the safest way to produce energy but are not, and they are not guaranteed to produce the energy that is needed. Fracking is a major way in extracting fossil fuels and has been successful and guaranteed. Renewable energy sources as a main source of energy is not effective as other sources of energy nor is it environmental friendly. Creating a renewable energy plant is very difficult and when it…
