Negative Externalities We live and work in a world driven by a fossil fueled economy. Our cars and other dominant forms of transport run primarily on gasoline derived from oil. Our homes and work places stay heated and cooled using electricity generated by utilities heavily dependent on coal. Many air pollution issues such as climate change‚ acid rain and smog are directly related to our energy choices. Solutions to air quality issues range from calls for greater energy efficiency to increased

which turns into radiant energy when ignited‚ to cook food or provide heat when using a gas grill. Currently‚ one of the major sources of energy today is fossil fuels. Fossil fuels contain the stored radiant energy of organisms that lived million of years ago. (Tillery‚ 2009 p67) Petroleum‚ natural gas and coal are all considered fossil fuels as they are all by-products of organisms that lived millions of years ago. Both petroleum and natural gas form from organic sediment‚ materials that have

The earth will face an energy crisis in the near future if humans are not careful with their consumption. To avoid this disaster it is vital for us to utilize alternative sources of energy to its full potential. Widely used fossil fuels like coal‚ oil‚ and petroleum are very harmful to the environment.

to sustain the populace and the industrial sectors of that nation. Fossil fuels (oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas) are the backbone of the United States’ energy consumption. Fossil fuels are not an infinite source but a finite source. Scientists do not know the exact process behind the creation of fossil fuels‚ except that the creation takes a very long time. Because fossil fuels are not unlimited and speculation has some fossil fuels disappearing by the end of the 21st century‚ many individuals believe

by other kinds of energies‚ especially fossil fuels. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)‚ the most of the common fuel that used for electricity generation is coal sharing 45% of the U.S electricity energy‚ which is about 4 trillion Kilowatt-hours. Fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum are not renewable. Once they are used‚ the total resources of them are reduced. There will be one day that the earth is running out of fossil fuel. As the relationship between coal and electricity

How can the alternative source of energy be harnessed effectively? Losing polluting natural resource is one of the most serious problems that people concerned during the 21st century. Scientists have found that traditional sources like fossil fuels are threatening people’s lives as well as the environment. Due to this‚ some countries have started their plans to harness‚ renewable energy and achieved satisfactory success. For a decade‚ the majority of countries in Europe have proved that used alternative
