additional demand on our world energy resources. Most of energy source today however are from fossil fuel. Fossil fuel unfortunately is a non-renewable energy resource and it is completely unsustainable. The population in the United States alone is expected to more than double by 2050.What are we to do about our future energy demand? One of the answers to this fuel problem is bio-fuels. However‚ most of bio-fuels today are produced from the land and we will need all the land we can just in order for us

power plants are being built‚ but most of the new plants still use the same technology as their predecessors. Some have even been ‘repackaged’ to appear cleaner in respect to exhaust‚ but they still pollute the atmosphere and use a dwindling source of fuel. Still others argue that fields of petroleum at deeper levels are more than sufficient to supply the world with oil1. The only real hope of the world is to either perfect some of the newer‚ greener power generation techniques such as wind‚ solar‚ or

Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and tidal barrages are better for the environment than nuclear power and fossil fuels. They also have the potential to last forever. So why are they not being used all over the world? A reason for this is because switching to renewable energy as a primary source would cost a lot of money. Some countries don’t think it is worth it‚ and others simply can’t afford to. There are also many nations that earn a vast amount of money from oil and coal‚ that wouldn’t

reduce global warming by decreasing the amount of coal that is burned which further allows us to reline on the electric roads. "Everyone has power. No more power shortages‚ no more roaming power outages‚ no more need to burn coal. Less need for fossil fuels and less dependency upon foreign oil and much less pollution (solar roadways)". This proves that it reduces global warming because if we install these electric roads we wouldn’t need to burn as much coal as we do now. You ask why? Well the roads

Fossil fuels has been identified as the main reason for the risen temperatures because the amount of fossil fuels that is being created. 3.

In comparison to the forty to eighty gigatons of carbon loss‚ a small one ton of increase in soil carbon pool has the potential to enhance food security and ultimately even reduce fossil fuels emissions by 0.4 to 1.2 gigatons a year‚ in other words by five to fifteen percent of the global fossil fuel emissions. ............................................................................................................................................

As we all know carbon dioxide is a important greenhouse gas and burning of carbon-based fuels since the industrial has rapidly increased its concentration in the atmosphere‚ leading to global warming. Carbon dioxide is also a major source of ocean acidification since it dissolves water to form carbonic acid. Most carbon dioxide comes from the people because of the
