The energy that is used today comes from fossil fuels‚ which is a nonrenewable limited resource that will eventually be used up. Alternative energy sources such as solar‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal and wind energies can be used‚ to conserve the planets limited natural resources. Alternative energy is the use of another energy without the burning of fossil fuels and break up on atoms. Solar energy can be used to operate cars and provide electricity for homes and businesses. Hydroelectric energy can

There are many sources of energy that are renewable and considered to be environmentally friendly and harness natural processes. These sources of energy provide an alternate ‘cleaner’ source of energy‚ helping to negate the effects of certain forms of pollution. All of these power generation techniques can be described as renewable since they are not depleting any resource to create the energy. While there are many large-scale renewable energy projects and production‚ renewable technologies are also

There is also a group of people that believe that the wind turbines that are used to generate wind energy is a bad idea because they obstruct the natural view‚ causes death to birds‚ and generates noise pollution. They also argue that wind energy is

than enough energy to satisfy global energy needs for an entire year. Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun’s energy and make it useable. Solar Energy is the energy from the Sun. The Sun is a big ball of heat and light resulting from nuclear fusion at its core. The nuclear reaction releases energy that travels outward to the surface of the Sun. Along the way to the surface the energy transforms so that by the time it is released it is primarily light energy. The two major types

problems have arisen‚ one of which is the shortage of sources of energy. A sizable percentage of people hold the opinion that traditional fuel such as petroleum and nature gas should be maintained while others encourage people to use replaceable energy. As I see it‚ the new type of energy should be appreciated. People who support this issue have their own reasons. In the first place‚ it is obvious that fossil fuels are nonrenewable energy in out earth. The total fossil fuels are limited and if

Solar power From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia This article is about generation of electricity using solar energy. For other uses of solar energy‚ see Solar energy. The PS10 concentrates sunlight received from a field of heliostats onto a central tower. Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity‚ either directly using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus
