NUCLEAR ENERGY Nuclear energy is the energy contained in the centre ‚ or nucleus of an atom. The nucleus is the most powerful source of energy that exist. Nuclear energy is use in scientific research and in medicine treatments. It powers satellites and submarines‚ and it is used to produce electricity. People have also put nuclear energy to destructive uses through the creation of weapons.1 Nuclear energy also called ATOMIC ENERGY‚ energy

TIDAL ENERGY [pic] *75% of the planet’s surface consits of water. Our water supply transformed a barren planet into a lush green garden of life with a multitude of biodiversity. Water has easily fufilled our every need in many ways. As we near the twentyfirst century‚ a time when public attention is focused on the environment and society is increasing at an ever accelerating rate‚ the energy crisis continues to burden us. Questions of what to do about increasing energy demands and future requirements

Geothermal energy What is geothermal energy‚ and how can we use it in society? Geothermal energy is the use of the Earths very own energy. It’s renewable‚ clean and can range to easily acquirable hot springs on the surface or hot rock found a few miles below the surface. Or you can go a bit deeper and hit the extremities of the molten rock (magma). In the US around 80% of all geothermal hotspots are found on the western states i.e. Alaska and Hawaii. Wells are drilled deep into the underground

Energy Debate The use and costs of energy in the United States has been a debate that has been going on for many years and will only continue to go on for more. People believe that decreasing dependency on oil and using alternative sources will be a solution to the many problems we face. The costs are high to do the switch‚ but may pay for its self in the long run. This debate may never be solved because everyone has a different opinion. I feel as though both sides have valid viewpoints. I believe

Keeping in view the commercial and industrial consumption of oil and gas everyone is conscious to have some alternate resource for energy production. Wind is also one of the resources for the power generation. A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind‚ also called wind energy‚ into mechanical energy; a process
