History of Solar Energy 1767‚ First Solar Collector In the year 1767 a Swiss scientist named Horace-Benedict de Saussure created the first solar collector – an insulated box covered with three layers of glass to absorb heat energy. Saussure’s box became widely known as the first solar oven‚ reaching temperatures of 230 degrees fahrenheit. 1839‚ Photovolataic Effect Defined In 1839 a major milestone in the evolution of solar energy happened with the defining of the photovoltaic effect.

Nuclear Energy There are many advantages and disadvantages of using nuclear power. Nuclear power is said to prevent power outages that happen in areas without nuclear power. For an example‚ if we were using hydroelectricity and the dam suddenly malfunctions‚ then we won’t have electricity until someone fixes the dam‚ and that would be difficult if it happened in the middle of the night. However‚ on the other hand‚ nuclear power is also considered toxic and it pollutes the Earth with harmful and

Conserve Energy Carmen Salyer SCI275 Conserve Energy Conserving energy is very important to our generation and future generations as well. By conserving energy we also help slow down the process of global warming and lower the pollutants in the air that we consume on a daily basis. This is why we need to conserve the energy that we have today. We should use renewable sources or sources that are renewed at the same rate they are used such as wind power‚ solar power‚ hydropower and biomass

Atomic energy is energy produced by atoms. The term originated in 1903 when Ernest Rutherford began to speak of the possibility ofatomic energy.[1] The term was popularized by H. G. Wells in the phrase‚ "splitting the atom"‚ devised at a time prior to the discovery of the nucleus. Atomic energy also may refer to: * Nuclear binding energy‚ the energy required to split a nucleus of an atom * Nuclear potential energy‚ the potential energy of the particles inside an atomic nucleus * Nuclear

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Geothermal energy is one of the oldest sources of energy. It is simply using and reusing (reusable energy) heat from the inside of the earth. Most of the geothermal energy comes from magma‚ molten or partially molten rock. Which is why most geothermal resources come from regions where there are active volcanoes. Hot springs‚ geysers‚ pools of boiling mud‚ and fumaroles are the most easily exploited sources. The ancient Romans used hot springs to heat baths and homes‚ and

Nowadays the amount of energy we use varies inversely to the environmental impact on our planet. And the consequence of overusing the energy may be not so positive. We have to do the actions towards to create more sustainable environment. In order to help our planet to survive the actions should be done in individual‚ local‚ national‚ and international levels. First of all‚ the sustainable development of our earth is started from the least. Consequently every human in this world should ask himself
