our energy and power sources. Green energy is a term used for sources of power and energy that are environmentally friendly. Basically this includes anything that is renewable energy. Renewable energy is considered energy that is constantly being replaced such as wood‚ vegetable matter‚ and trash. Green energy ’s main focus is to use sources that can cut down on pollution. Some of these sources of power and energy are Biomass energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydropower‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ wind

Why should we save energy in schools? Saving energy leads to reduce carbon emissions‚lower costs and conserves the supplies we have.They are also working in support with high schools to support energy efficiency."We believe energy efficiency is the cheapest and cleanest form of "new" energy the world has." - energy efficiency unit of Chevron.Even though energy suppliers want your business‚ they are looking for more of an investment instead of wasting energy when it isn’t necessary. They believe

ENERGY CONSRVATION : A VIEW FOR ENERGY MANAGEMENT & ENVIORNMENT BY:-Harshal rane (BE MECHANICAL) ABSTRACT :- In present world the need for electrical energy is quite essential in every aspect of our life‚ but at the same time the crisis for the electrical energy has been increasing proportionately. The present trend of producing electrical energy via coal‚ nuclear and hydro means are degrading the healthy atmospheric conditions an they are also in

Renewable energy is energy that originates from natural sources‚ which is a continuing and nonpolluting energy that is replenished due to its perpetual natural motion. These sources are commonly solar‚ geothermal‚ wind and tidal energies. Comparing different countries’ use of renewable energies -- in Portugal this year‚ close to 45 percent of its electricity will come from renewable energy sources (Rosenthal‚ 2010). This compared to 10.1 percent in the United States (U.S. Energy Administration

Renewable energy is the need of the hour It is the year 2050‚ Earth is so polluted‚ vision is obscured by smog‚ lakes and streams are poisoned. Oh! What a terrible sight. This may become a reality‚ if we keep using non-renewable energy resources. Hello there! A very good morning and I am Pranav Athreya and you have guessed it right‚ I am speaking for the topic Renewable energy is the need of the hour. At present‚ the main energy sources used are non-renewable fossil fuels like coal‚ petroleum‚ and

Solar Energy Alternative energy resources are being closely evaluated because of the depletion of nonrenewable resources‚ such as fossil fuels. Fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources have damaged earth because of the amount of pollution that is released some‚ in which is known as Carbon Dioxide. Massive amounts of Carbon Dioxide are that is released into our environment every year further damaging our planet. Scientist has been effectively working on ways of conserving energy that is

The Energy of the Future The United States of America is in desperate need of an alternate energy source. One such alternate source is nuclear power. Nuclear power is a form of energy produced by an atomic reaction‚ which is capable of producing an alternative source of electrical power‚ replacing the energy currently supplied by coal‚ gas‚ or oil. This will help the United States move away from burning fossil fuels and potentially reduce overall pollution. Nuclear power has the potential to be
