Energy Resources and their Uses in Producing Electricity Renewable energy is energy drawn from natural processes that are restored quicker than they are used up‚ some renewable energy resources are biomass‚ food‚ wind‚ waves‚ flowing water‚ solar and geothermal. The sun however‚ is known to be the ultimate energy resource since almost all energy resources originate from the sun’s energy. This is possible according to the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can’t be destroyed

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY 4 December 2013 Introduction Geothermal is derived from the Greek word ‘geo’ which means ‘earth’ and ‘thermal’ meaning ‘heat’‚ therefore geothermal refers to an energy or heat from the earth. In layman’s terms it is referred to power resulting from the thermal activating within the earth’s crust as a result of volcanic activity. Geothermal energy’s resources range from the surfaces just below the earth‚ to the hot rock‚ which heats water deep beneath the earth

Energy Resource Plan As the power bill is nearing to be three times as much as it has been‚ one thing on every household’s mind is‚ how are we going to conserve energy? Conserving energy is more than just “saving the planet”. It is preserving earth for future generations‚ your kids‚ your grandkids‚ and your lineage. We need to treat the earth like a precious family heirloom that is nearing its breaking point. There are two categories of energy: renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy comes

Research Essay Energy Crisis Fossil fuels and Nuclear power plants are extremely dangerous to the environment. They pollute the very atmosphere we breathe and they’re extremely expensive. It emits large amounts of toxins and carbon dioxide into the air‚ not only hurting humans but also the crops we grow. They also assist the cause global warming. “A catastrophic human’s effect of burning fossil fuels and nuclear waste is global warming. They emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases‚ which

off a light switch as someone leaves a room or unplugging a device when not in use. From these small acts‚ the beginning seeds of energy conservation can be sown. Energy conservation has become one of the most hotly debated subjects in the world. Old power plants are struggling to keep up‚ sometimes causing power shortages or “brown outs”‚ and new power plants are being built‚ but most of the new plants still use the same technology as their predecessors. Some have even been ‘repackaged’ to
