for 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

Back” greenhouse gases are destroying layers of the earth’s ozone or atmosphere‚ which is the result of burning fossil fuels such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil. Research done by Mann and other climate scientific points out that there is a serious threat to our planet as a result of the overuse of fossil fuels and the sharply rising levels of the gases as we continue to burn more and more fossil fuels. According to Michael Mann‚ he and other scientist over the past decades have become the victims

Using both new and old renewable energy sources is key to the nation’s energy stability for the future. There are two categories that an energy source can fall under and they are fossil fuels and renewable energy. The gas you put in to your vehicle‚ the gas the fuels your stove and heating‚ and the charcoal you use to grill with are all examples of fossil fuels (Marshak‚ S.). This means

Burning fossil fuels raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere‚ and it is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming. We can help to reduce the demand for fossil fuels‚ which in turn reduces global warming‚ by using energy more wisely. The most important and useful way is Reduce‚ Reuse and Recycle. We should do our

In our modern society there is a constant give and take environment over energy. The use of fossil fuels and coal has become politically incorrect in our green-centric society. The use of media and spin is one of the most important tools being used by companies that make use of fossil fuels. There is an economic incentive for these companies to downplay the potentially harmful nature of these energy sources. While the usage of coal and other fuels is easy‚ it is also seen by many as environmentally

Renewable Energy Sources are defined renewable non-fossil energy sources including wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ wave‚ tidal‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ landfill gas‚ sewage treatment plant gas and biogases. In Hong Kong‚ the energy consumption is highly relied on non-renewable resources such as coal‚ natural gas‚ oil etc. However‚ if we only depend on those resources continuously‚ it may have a high risk of deficiency. Because of the limitation of the Non-Renewable Resources‚ Renewable Energy Sources have

such as industry and consumption of fossil fuels plus the increase in population and agriculture have played a big part in global warming. If something is not done soon the results could be very bad. By the middle of the twenty first century‚ there is evidence that the Earth will be warmer than it has been at any time in human history‚ and quite possibly since the end of the dinosaurs‚ some 65 billion years ago.
