Whenever you save energy‚ you not only save money‚ you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ the primary contributor to global warming‚ and other pollutants. You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers have a real choice and the power to change

1. Minimize Phantom Loads The term “phantom load” refers to the energy that an appliance or electronic device consumes when it is not actually turned on. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)‚ “In the average home‚ 75 percent of the electricity used to power home electronics is consumed while the products are turned off.” A report from the University of California Berkeley says that phantom loads account for about 6 percent of all national residential electricity consumption. You can

Running Head: Energy Conversion Energy Conversion Marlon Walker Professor Abdul Kahn SCI 110: Integrated Science October 21‚ 2011 Abstract Energy conversion has been a topic of debate and research for many years. Scientists conduct experiments in hopes of finding an alternative to relying on burning fossil fuels for electricity. While companies who believe their alternative is the best choice‚ debate over whose source is the “greenest”. Whether it be biomass‚ hydroelectricity‚ solar

ENERGY: Energy is the amount of force or power when applied can move one object from one position to another or Energy defines the capacity of a system to do work. Energy exists in everybody whether they are human beings or animals or non-living things for e.g.: Jet‚ Light‚ Machines etc... Energy can have many forms: kinetic‚ potential‚ light‚ sound‚ gravitational‚ elastic‚ electromagnetic or nuclear. The many different natural and renewable energy technologies are by no means breakthrough. Many

"The light begins…the light ends" Dulce Maldonado Abstract: In this lab the students did two labs in which they learned the process of photosynthesis‚ which involves the use of light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar‚ oxygen‚ and other organic compounds. Oxygen is released as a product. This process is often summarized by the following reaction: 6CO2 + 12H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 The energy of photosynthesis comes from absorbed photons found in light and involves
