I will be informing you about nuclear energy. Prior to giving this information‚ let’s look at some history. Ancient Greek philosophers were the first to come up with the idea that matter is made up of invisible particles. The Greeks called these invisible particles "atoms"‚ which is Greek for invisible. Scientists studied this idea in the 18th and 19th centuries. After many experiments physicists found out that atoms contain a large amount of energy. Ernest Rutherford‚ a British scientist

In this personal energy audit I will analyze my energy use over the week of September 21st-27th. I made a log of any daily activities which required an energy input‚ and noted their duration. This information was then used to determine the energy required per year. As I have not been living at my current address for at least 1 year‚ I was unable

SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION SOLAR ENERGY is the radiant energy that we receive from the sun in the form of heat and light. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar Energy is the ultimate source of most of the sources of energy that we use. The wind energy‚ water energy‚ energy of fossil fuels and the energy in food are due to solar energy. SOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY The discovery of radioactivity led some scientists to suggest that the energy released during radioactive decay of radioactive

Energy Alternatives: * Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. In a general sense in contemporary society‚ alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesirable consequences of the burning of fossil fuels‚ such as high carbon dioxide emissions‚ which is considered to be the major contributing factor of global warming. * This chapter discussed only a few of the possible alternatives to our current combustible energy generation system

Informative Speech April 24‚ 2011 Energy Efficiency There are various sources of energy available for use. However‚ energy is a limited and sparse resource that is not in abundance at all places. There is an ever rising need for more energy‚ but the energy supply and resources are limited. As a result‚ people have to develop means that can enable them to survive with the small amount of energy that is available. The proper and sustainable use of energy is known as energy efficiency. Efficiency is attained

Almost every country stood by and watched as the bombs made by the simple process of fission of two atomic particles produced enough power to destroy

mean by sustainable energy? Sustainable energy is about using energy wisely and using energy generated from clean sources and clean technologies. Wise energy use is the first step to ensuring we have sustainable energy for present and future generations. Being efficient with our energy will reduce our household and business energy bills‚ reduce the amount of energy we need to produce in the first place and cut energy related greenhouse pollution. So sustainable energy is not just about
