Wind power in the United States

why not solar-wind hybrid system which has likes of both. But before going for any renewable energy system we have to hate the current power generation system, so that we do not switch back again. We have to know in what ways the current fossil fuel based power generation is affecting the environment and our health.…

Hurricane Irene was a massive storm that covered the east coast from North Carolina to New England and parts of Canada. The storm caused a lot of damage to many states and the people and animals that live in them. There was massive flooding of roads, mudslides, and complete destruction of property and forest areas. First type of damage is flooding; when hurricanes come in from the ocean they bring large waves of…

Most scientist would believe that the main cause of the climate change is the rise in the greenhouse effect. The Greenhouse effect is the process of which radiation from the planet’s atmosphere warms the earth’s surface above what it would be without the atmosphere. Certain gases in the atmosphere block heat from escaping. Gases that influence the greenhouse effect is water vapor, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, and methane. Some have a positive feedback like water vapor and others have a…

In analyzing the future of energy in the United States, the state of California will be the city of interest. It is one of the most populated states in the United States of America and as such it is expected to have equally high demand for energy. On the contrary, it has one of the least per-capita energy’s usages. This is attributable to some factors, which the state enjoys. These are mild climatic conditions experienced in the state relative to other parts of the nation, energy supplementation…

people believe is that wind turbines kill too many birds. It is true that 300,000 birds are killed each year by wind turbines,…

Offshore wind energy is an innovative approach to addressing climate change and the global energy crisis. Although many projects have begun, there are currently no offshore operational projects in the United States. Through the case study of the failed Cape Wind project, we can better understand the importance of integrating aspects of land use planning, environmental impact assessments, and historical and human considerations when designing a project like an offshore wind plant. Furthermore,…

Wind energy has been perceived as the next big energy source. Wind companies try to make consumers believe that this is the answer for the future, but research into wind energy demonstrates that coal or other forms of conventional power plants are needed. Coal plants have been shutting down due to the Clean Air Act, our country can not be sustained by wind energy. Some people speculate that nuclear should be the answer. Although wind energy is a well known renewable energy source, it has raised…

becoming more efficient than the old fashioned fossil fuel power plants. Not only are these new types of energy cleaner, but nine out of ten times they are more efficient and less expensive compared to the more commonly used fossil fuel power plant. As time goes on, the environment is slowly being polluted and non-renewable resources, such as coal, are being wasted on these plants. New forms of energy, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power have become more clean and cost effective.…

cut in half by 2050, according to the International Energy Agency (“Technology”). This is a substantial decrease, especially in a world that relies heavily on fossil fuels. We burn fossil fuels in our cars, our homes, and in power plants to generate electricity. Solar energy, wind turbines, and nuclear reactors are renewable forms of energy to create electricity that do not emit carbon dioxide. Nuclear is very debated because some do not see it as clean or safe after incidents like Fukushima in…

minorities and third-world nations are treated by the United States and/or its government. “Bullet the Blue Sky,” written by the band U2, elucidates how the United States government employs deception and war to coerce foreign nations into adopting its political beliefs. Specifically, it elaborates on the journey of the protagonist, Bono, who has experienced firsthand the unnecessary devastation and destruction caused in foreign countries by the United States military. “Minority Poem,” written by…
