People have used more than 90% of fuels‚ such as oil‚ coal and natural gas to produce electricity. These things are non-renewable. The more we use these fuel it will decreases everyday. So we have to find another way to save it by using renewable energy‚ which is a new way to produce electricity and also reducing global warming

Climate Change‚ Capitalism‚ and Social Justice California used to be a paradise‚ lush green lawns freshly cut‚ creeks gurgling with water‚ and mountains covered in golden fields. What happened? The lawns are all shriveled up‚ dry rocks are left where there used to be water‚ and black blotches on hills are left behind from wildfires. Scientists state that this is a result of climate change‚ also known as global warming. When warm temperatures affect the weather patterns of the Earth‚ the effects are

Global warming is caused by air pollution Global warming has been around our Earth for centuries‚ but recently has become a bigger problem for our environment. There has been debate whether or not global warming is a natural occurrence for our planet‚ and doesn’t really exist. While others argue that human activities is causing global warming. Global warming is caused by many things such as pollution that is damaging our environment. The causes are split up into two groups. There are the natural

Fossil fuel combustion‚ land-use change‚ increasingly intensive agriculture‚ and an expanding global human population are the primary causes for these increases. Other greenhouse gases found in our planet’s atmosphere include water vapor and ozone. Carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by the burning of solid waste‚ wood and wood products‚ and fossil fuels (oil‚ natural gas‚ and coal). Nitrous oxide emissions occur during

instead increase the use of clean energy resources. One such successful example has been Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards‚ which encourage higher fuel efficiency for all vehicles. By creating higher standards for cars‚ the government forced carmakers to innovate and create cleaner cars. At a federal level‚ the EPA could do more to encourage safer extraction of unconventional fuels‚ such as fracking. Currently‚ there does not exist enough regulation on fracking‚ leading to possible serious

Renewable energy is a much cheaper alternative in some countries because of their ability to harness sources of energy that are prevalent to their location. Renewable energy creates three times more jobs than fossil fuels. According to Clean Technica‚ “a national study showed that job creation in clean energy outdoes fossil fuels by a margin of 3-to-1 — every dollar put into clean energy creates three times

Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy: The major benefit of solar is avoiding green house gases that fossil fuels produce. The first and foremost advantage of solar energy is that it does not emit any greenhouse gases. Solar energy is produced by conducting the sun’s radiation – a process void of any smoke‚ gas‚ or other chemical by-product. This is the main driving force behind all green energy technology‚ as nations attempt to meet climate change obligations in curbing emissions. Italy’s

One of the main causes of the serious air pollution was the burning of fossil fuels by the many manufacturing industries producing iron and steel‚ automobiles‚ machinery‚ textiles and food. Coal and Oil were the main sources of fuel for the factories which resulted in the release of carbon dioxide‚ sulphur dioxide‚ smoke‚ soot and other particulates. Inefficient machinery and obsolete techniques coupled

Green energy is energy that is produced in such a way as to minimize its negative impact on the environment. Traditional energy sources‚ most notably fossil fuels‚ produce greenhouse gases that are believed to be the primary cause of an effect known as global warming or climate change. Sources of green energy‚ such as solar‚ wind‚ geothermal‚ and hydro energy‚ are developed and promoted as alternative sources that make little or no contribution to climate change. Even nuclear energy is sometimes

example in the UK‚ as gas imports will rise in the future‚ the government has imposed a policy of trying to encourage the development of remaining reserves in the North Sea. Mali however is a land locked country situated in Africa which has no fossil fuel resources‚ so the policies are going to be vastly different to the UK in terms of the production and consumption of energy. Economic development sees the increase in GDP over time which means an increase in energy consumption in that country.
