shortage of fossil fuels‚ the effects they are having on the environment and the possible substitutes to make sure they do not run out. Fossil Fuels There are three main types of fossil fuels‚ coal‚ oil and natural gas. After food‚ fossil fuel is humanity’s most important source of energy. Coal is used mainly to produce electricity. It provides light‚ motive power from electric motors and many electronic devices. Oil provides mobility for cars‚ planes‚ trains‚ trucks and boats. Natural gas

produce smoke. Nuclear power is considered carbon-free and produces more electricity than other renewables like solar and wind. Proponents of nuclear power often measure its economic prowess in kilowatts. Nuclear power plants produce more kilowatts than coal‚ wind or solar for fewer cents. As more plants are built‚ it’s expected that construction costs will come down‚ making the price of nuclear-generated electricity that much more attractive. Millions of people in poorer countries have limited access

little dust or fines. Rolls crushers are effectively used in minerals crushing where the ores are not too abrasive and they are also used in smaller scale production mining of more abrasive metal ores‚ such as gold. Coal is probably the largest user of roll crushers‚ currently‚ though. Coal plants will use roll crushers‚ either single roll or double roll‚ as primary crushers. Usually‚ these crushers will have teeth or raised forms on the face of the roll. Roll crushers used for minerals and metal ores

of its population. Given the near exponential growth of demand due to other factors like industrialization‚ we are now forced to explore non-government sources of energy from being reliant on government run power stations only. The proposed Rampal Coal-based Power Station is an example of the latter. Rampal Power Station came in the paper for the first time when Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited India in 2010. A memorandum jointly signed by the two Prime Ministers contained proposal

power-generating capacity able to meet all needs. Nuclear Power is the most environmentally favorable way of producing electricity on a large scale. For example‚ a gram of uranium‚ which is used as fuel for Nuclear Power‚ produces energy as much as four tons of coal. Wood produces even less energy. Nuclear Power produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel. Nuclear Power is also able to meet industrial and city needs as compared to low-power technologies like solar that might meet only local‚ residential

Pakistan’s Energy Crisis EconomySouth AsiaPakistan August 31‚ 2013 By Shabbir H. Kazmi Energy shortages are hobbling the economy and contributing to unrest. But the country has options. Pakistan is in the midst of one of the worst energy crises in its history. This is both slowing the pace of economic activity and causing public unrest with prolonged outages of electricity and gas. Capacity utilization in some key industries has fallen to nearly 50 percent. Worst affected is the fertilizer

Canada need to completely get rid of the use of Coal Burning Power Plants. Although coal has been known to be efficient and inexpensive there are to many drawbacks continuing use coal. Coal is very bad for the environment because it causes an immense amount of atmospheric pollution. Coal produces carbon dioxide‚ a greenhouse gas and when it is released into the air it dramatically changes the climate. For every one tonne of coal the power plants produce it releases four tonnes of carbon
