the authors focus on vital energy sources‚ notably hydrocarbon fossil fuels and nuclear energy. According to the authors‚ there will be available energy to meet demand given the theory that energy consumption going forward will be significantly lower than the present level. In the author’s opinion‚ climate change will continue to force the issue of renewable energy sources. Despite this theory‚ he believes that the fossil fuel % of overall energy use will remain consistent with today’s rates

Air pollutant Carbon dioxide dioxide when they breathe‚ carbon dioxide is widely considered to be a pollutant when associated with cars‚ planes‚ power plants‚ and other human activities that involve the burning of fossil fuels such as gasoline and natural gas. In the past 150 years‚ such activities have pumped enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to raise its levels higher than they have been for hundreds of thousands of years Methane Other greenhouse gases include

calls for CARBON FOOTPRINTS A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment‚ and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity‚ heating and transportation etc. The carbon footprint is a measurement of all greenhouse gases we individually produce and has units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent.

environmental awareness and concern which may lead to policies that try to reduce carbon emissions. In the US‚ average citizens are very aware of the impact that their lifestyle choices have on the environment. Simple steps like recycling and driving more fuel efficient cars are popular with the public in terms of reducing pollution in the air and lowering the amount of pollution we put in the air. Our role locally is to recycle and take simple steps in order to reduce pollution that occurs. Our role

well as trim one of our holdings that suffers from poor ESG. We believe that this movement away from fossil fuels and into more renewables will be beneficial in the long run. Investment Thesis We believe that there will be an increase in investments into the alternative energy space in the next 3-5 years as the costs of production and maintenance decrease and become a complete substitute to fossil fuels. We have already started to see this trend within our GEX fund. We believe investing into alternative

Michael Brown Dr. Rambo Freshman Comp November 30‚ 2011 Renewable Resources Sky Rocket Fossil fuels have been used around the globe for many centuries. Each year fossil fuels pollute the earth and in turn contribute to global warming. Pollution from fossil fuels is harmful to humans‚ ecosystems‚ as well as the overall environment. Fossil fuels pollute streams‚ rivers and even vast areas of the ocean. Just recently there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; this spill caused the deaths of

sources of energy: • Non renewable sources of energy are those which are exhaustible & can not be replaced once they have been used. • These sources have been accumulated in nature over a very longer period of million of years. • E.g. fossil fuel like coal‚ petroleum‚ natural gas. Conventional source of energy: • Conventional sources for energy are

can‚ in effect‚ reverse some fraction of our bad habits with regard to CO2 emissions. Unless we find some way to sequester massive quantities of carbon more cheaply than the difference between fossil fuel technologies and renewable energy technologies‚ it won’t give us carte blanche to keep using fossil fuel‚ but it can help reverse some of the past damage and/or help us ease the transition to newer tech. As far as I’m aware‚ clean coal usually does not refer to the CO2 emissions of the coal‚
