proposed building of coal-fired power plant in Aborlan‚ Palawan has swiftly been a controversy. Environmental organizations and the residents of Aborlan have strongly opposed the said proposal. Why? What makes them oppose such power plant? But first of all‚ what is coal? Coal‚ which is the most abundant fossil fuel‚ is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock usually occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. Coal-fired power plant converts heat energy of combustion

nuclear power plants? Energy is a controversial topic in the United States and the rest of the world. More than half of the energy we have comes from coal burning power plants. President Obama is working along with government agencies to build more nuclear power plants in the United States. Nuclear power plants produce large quantities of energy creating no air pollution and very little water pollution in the form of thermal pollution. The United States should build more Nuclear power plants‚ they

Greenhouse Gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that may raise average temperatures on Earth. The burning of fossil fuels could be responsible for the increased levels of carbon dioxide. If current trends continue‚ future concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide in parts per million (ppm) could reach the levels shown in the accompanying table. The CO2 concentration in the year 2000 was greater than it had been at any time in the previous 160‚000 years. Year 2000

Merchant Opportunities for power plants in India Abstract The concept was merchant power plant was introduced in India in 2003. With an existing huge demand supply gap of electricity in India‚ MPPs are considered to be panacea in the long run. Though the government has targeted capacity addition of 88‚000 MW in the 12th FYP it seems faltering purely basis the trend of delays observed in project commissioning and the after effects of economic slowdown hitting the power generation sector in India

MODEL ANSWER—THAILAND’S NUCLEAR POWER PLANT I INTRODUCTION As authorized by you‚ I submit an analytical report on the above subject in memo form Thailand will build its first nuclear power plant by 2022 to meet rising electricity demands. Although Thailand drafted the first nuclear power plant in 1991‚ it was not implemented due to strong opposition from environmentalists. I have interviewed Energy Minister Pityasavasti Amranand‚ and received information from the Bangkok Post of 27th Jan 2008

Fears As we learn about all of the different ways to power our planet we have to understand that there are in fact tradeoffs no matter what option we choose. I’m not sure where I read the quote but I stumbled across a comment that stated “we were afraid of fire once too” this just means that we have to understand that no matter what we choose the past has helped pave the way to making whatever we chose a safer more efficient way to give us power. Imagine the thousands of people that have died from

wonder why disastrous weather events like super-storm Sandy continue to increase in their frequency and severity? Many modern scientists attribute these dangerous environmental trends of global warming to the ‘greenhouse effect’. The ‘greenhouse effect’ results from greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide rising into the atmosphere‚ trapping infrared radiation from the sun‚ and emitting ultraviolet radiation that can puncture the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer. A healthy ozone layer should prevent
