Energy and the Environment “The Climate for Change” by Al Gore. As a whole I do not believe everything that Al Gore tells us. I think he is a hypocrite. He sits here and criticizes us for burning too many fossil fuels and our carbon footprints are too big! Well Mr. Al Gore‚ what about all the fossil fuels that you burn? Do you not have your own private jet that flies you around the world to talk about global warming? You‚ Mr. Al Gore‚ are just as bad if not worse than the rest of us. Al Gore

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

Examples of Radiant Energy The term radiant energy refers to energy that travels by waves or particles‚ particularly electromagnetic radiation such as heat or x-rays. Radiant energy is created through electromagnetic waves and was discovered in 1885 by Sir William Crookes. Fields in which this terminology is most often used are telecommunications‚ heating‚ radiometry‚ lighting‚ and in terms of energy created from the sun. Radiant energy is measured in joules.

Types of Energy: Energy is the ability to do work and there are many types of energy. Mechanical Energy is the energy of motion that does the work like the wind turns a windmill. In physics‚ mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The law of conservation of energy states that in an isolated system that is only subject to conservative forces‚ like

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

discussed in Detail about Wind Energy and the production of electricity from moving vehicles. So first we defined Energy. Till Now we have studied that energy is the ability of a body to do work .it can also be defined as the ability of a body to bring some change is the energy of that body. Energy is very necessary for human beings; every thing in the universe possessed some energy. There are two main kinds of Energy 1. Kinetic Energy 2. potential Energy Kinetic energy is produced by the motion

Renewable Energy INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Renewable energy is a new concept to some people but in actuality it has been around and talked about for many years. What it is is energy that comes from a source that is not depleted when used‚ and can be replenished. Some of these sources are wind‚ rain and sunlight. Renewable energy can replace the common standard fuels humans use in the generation of electricity‚ hot water and heating‚ and motor fuels (“How Solar Energy Works
