No. We should not continue using oil as the major source of energy. ------- Student ID: ------ 1st year‚ --- Professor --------- Workshop 1 class EE July 2‚ 2014 For the past several decades we have been relying on oil as our major source of energy. It is oil that driven the industrial revolution and turn the global economy into what it is right now. However‚ the increasing rate of our reliance and hunger for oil has been causing us devastating problems so awful that we can’t afford to ignore

Elk grove needs a clean source of energy. In my opinion biomass would be a good energy source for Elk Grove. Biomass is an organic and renewable material that comes from plants and animals.Contains stored energy from the sun. Biomass can be converted to other usable forms of energy like methane gas or transportation fuels like ethanol and biodiesel. Biomass is a good resource because it’s renewable and it’s a clean energy source. Also biomass can be reproduced over a relatively short period

We require energy for each and every activity that is being performed whether physically or chemically. This energy is acquired from the food we eat. In order to release that energy‚ certain anabolic and catabolic reactions take place. The three main energy systems are ATP Pcr‚glycolytic and oxidative; oxidative having three futher subgroups. These are discussed below ATP Pcr The ATP Pcr system is a constituent of Adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine. This energy system provides high energy

The solar energy use in Africa These days‚ solar energy has been the most talkative alternative energy source in the world. Unlike the gas‚ oil‚ and coal‚ solar enrgy is one of the clean and renewable resource‚ which can not only generate power but also protect the environment. Africa‚ has second largest population‚ estimated 1.6 billion‚ however‚ around one third of it’s people still live in the condition with no eletricity. (Renewable energy in Africa

ENERGY MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES INTRODUCTION In the modern days energy has the significant role in our life. With development where we got comfortable life and much modern facilities where we got some problem with excessive use of energy resources as declining of energy sources‚ climate change. So it is an big challenge for present and future generations as the cost of energy increase and its supply decrease‚ older buildings needs to modified and new buildings designed to use less energy. The optimization

became the main source of energy. However‚ faced with the notable increase demand for energy‚ fossil fuel‚ as a non-renewable resource becomes scarcer and more expensive nowadays. To solve this problem‚ the world needs to replace fossil fuels with other sources of energy which are relatively low-cost and more secure. Renewable energy is such a potential energy. This essay will give an outline of three sources of renewable energy to be used in developing nations‚ which are solar energy‚ wind power and
