that dose not mean the United States needs to completely abolish the use of fossil fuels. The untied states is the worlds largest oil consumer‚ using more than 1/3 of the worlds oil (Altars 8). The majority of America’s oil is used to make gasoline for cars and other motor vehicles‚ it is also refined to generate electric power and diesel engines (Altars 6). If the United states were to extinguish the use of fossil fuels and switch over to renewable resources the nation would be using resources

must look into the still tiny alternative energy market. In a minimum of fifty years fossil fuels‚ which include petroleum (oil)‚ natural gas‚ and coal‚ will all run out. Alternative energy is a renewable and the most productive type of energy for the USA and the world (United States. Department of Energy). Every person on this planet is provided with a dirty and unforgiving energy source‚ fossil fuels. Fossil fuels destroy and tarnish the once beautiful world. Alternative energy could slowing bring

Biomass energy systems are among the alternative systems under development. There is enormous biomass potential that can be tapped by improving the utilisation of existing sources‚ developing more efficient and advanced technologies to convert raw biomass into easy-to-use carriers (electricity‚ liquid or gaseous fuels‚ processed solid fuels) and by increasing

house effect which include the burning of fossil fuels‚ deforestation‚ and population growth. The green house effect is rising in temperature over the years because green house gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun. The first cause in rise of green house gases is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is used in manufacturing‚ transportation‚ and heating and powering. Burning Fossil fuels increase carbon dioxide gases which in turn

number of arguments in favor of the diversification of energy sources in Australia. Development based on fossil fuels make the climate changing a more serious problem. According to Harding(2008) industrialized countries have responsibility to recognize renewable energy solutions as a priority and reduce the dependency on fossil-fuel energy‚ for the reason that the development relianted on fossil fuels has caused climate change issues. Moreover‚ the diversification of energy sources is environmentally

Unfortunately‚ fossil fuel is the source of energy we use to sustain ourselves. Fossil fuels emit large quantities of greenhouse gas‚ which increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Our relationship to the carbon cycle and Earth’s energy budget has multiple layers. Almost everything we use requires a form of energy. To power technology‚ we burn fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels releases copious amounts of carbon back into the atmosphere. As stated before‚ we use fossil fuels everyday

main goal is to find ways to produce technology in ways that do not damage or deplete the Earth ’s natural resources. In addition to not depleting natural resources‚ green technology is meant as an alternative source of technology that reduces fossil fuels and demonstrates less damage to human‚ animal‚ and plant health‚ as well as damage to the world‚ in general. Next‚ green technology is so that products can be re- used and recycled. The use of green technology (clean technology) is supposed to

they are speeding up the process as we know it. The problem of global warming is primarily caused by humans and it began during the Industrial Revolution. Throughout the Industrial Revolution the production of burning fossil fuels increased drastically. The burnt fossil fuels began releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide‚ and artificial chemicals called halocarbons harming the environment. Scientists have concluded that most of the observed warming is very likely due to the burning of coal‚
