Lab 10: Energy of the Future Intro to Environmental Biology 1110K April 17‚ 2009 Mr. Herron Wyatt Jasmine Gray Hybrid vehicles are popular in today’s society. I remember summer 2008 when gas was almost five dollars a gallon. I was driving a Honda Civic and it cost me forty dollars to fill up my gas tank. When I first bought the car it only took me ten dollars to fill up the gas tank I was disappointed. I though

Wind Energy: Energy from Moving Air Abstract This paper contains the description of the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity‚ also describe the prospect and history of wind energy. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools

live without Energy‚ but it is impossible to find another planet to live in. Energy is everything. It comes in many forms such as heat‚ electricity‚ light‚ mechanical energy. Conventional energy sources such as coal and oil are the main contributors to the global warming. Furthermore‚ these fossil fuels are not renewable‚ which means one day we will run out of them. The good news is alternative sources of energy can replace the current technologies we are using. These renewable energy sources are

turn creates energy. However‚ with heavy industrialization (agricultural and manufacturing)‚ transportation‚ and personal energy use‚ our world’s fossil fuel supplies are rapidly depleting. Even more‚ fossil fuels pollute our environment. Scientists are on the search for alternative energy sources so the world can be weaned of its fossil fuel supply. Out of the many alternative fuel sources‚ I will be focusing on solar and wind power. Solar power is simply the conversion of energy from the sun

human-made element‚ also known as the most dangerous substance on earth. As a by-product of uranium fission‚ plutonium-239 is created by generating electricity from nuclear sources. Contrary to popular belief‚ nuclear energy is hazardous and threatening to health. The use of nuclear energy should be banned as evidenced by the number of accidents‚ health effects‚ and global impact. Countless nuclear power plant accidents have been occurring quite frequently since its invention. Some accidents have even
