The green myth – also known as carbon capture and storage Is carbon capture and storage really going to make a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions? Or is it just an excuse to build more and more polluting power plants driven by black coal? When asking students about their opinion on carbon capture and storage‚ most have never heard of the concept before‚ whereas others only have a vague idea about what it encompasses. However‚ no one could explain the concept or argument why they saw it as

Renewable resources: Renewable resources are resources that are produce energy or fuel through converting air‚ water‚ heat and solar energy in to electricity; also biomass for different types of fuel alternatives. California and Colorado have been using giant windmills to turn a generator to help supply electricity to heavily populated areas. The US has been using damns for years‚ but new

atmosphere‚ “greenhouse” gases trap some of this heat‚ and the rest escapes into space. The more greenhouse gases are in the atmosphere‚ the more heat gets trapped. CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING. 1. Global Warming Cause: Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning power plants Our ever increasing addiction to electricity from coal burning power plants releases enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 40% of U.S. CO2 emissions come from electricity production‚ and burning coal accounts

activities for too long‚ resulting in contaminated water supplies‚ dangerous air pollution‚ destroyed streams‚ and devastated landscapes. Weak safeguards and inadequate oversight fail to protect our communities from harm by the rapid expansion of fossil fuel production using hydraulic fracturing or "fracking." Americans shouldn’t have to accept unsafe drinking water just because natural gas burns more cleanly than coal. Many companies don’t play by the rules that do exist and the industry has used

The opposite theory states that humans are causing unwanted changes in the environment through their actions. This theory has a great deal of support behind it. Through irresponsible actions such as uncontrolled pollution‚ extensive burning of fossil fuels‚ and increased development‚ not to mention countless others‚ our planet’s defensive mechanisms are being

As the use of fossil-fuels start to diminish and grow unpopular due to the potentially harmful and irreversible environmental effects First Solar uses the abundant energy of the sun. By harnessing a sustainable and renewable energy source First Solar strives to decrease the dependence of fossil-fuels and limit the greenhouse gases

year 2100.” Majority of the scientists and research organisations‚ including IPCC have reached on consensus that global warming is caused by massive increase of green house gases such as Carbon dioxide (Co2) in atmosphere resulting from burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. The temperature of earth is maintained by the balance between the heat energy coming from the sun and the heat energy returned back to space. Some atmospheric gases: Carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ Methane (CH4)‚ Nitrous Oxide (N2OX)
