complicated issue facing world leaders. Warnings from the scientific community are becoming louder‚ as an increasing body of science points to rising dangers from the ongoing buildup of human-related greenhouse gases — produced mainly by the burning of fossil fuels and forests. WHAT IS GLOBAL WARMING? The global surface temperature is an estimate of the global mean surface air temperature. However‚ for changes over time‚ only anomalies... are used‚ most commonly based on the area-weighted global

Advantages of Solar Energy in India Solar energy provides cost effective solutions to energy problems where there is no electricity at all. Some of the advantages of solar energy which makes it all the more suitable for India are as follows: No Pollution : Solar energy is environment friendly. Solar energy is non-polluting‚ clean‚ reliable and renewable source of electricity. It does not pollute the air by releasing harmful gases like carbon dioxide‚ nitrogen oxide and sulphur oxide. Solar energy

| Fossil Fuel: Natural Gas | Renewable resource: Wind Power | Describe this resource | Natural Gas in a Hydrocarbon gas that is naturally occurring. It consists of mostly methane and is used as fuel for some vehicles and heating the home. | Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of electricity. It usually involves a fan that spins‚ and the energy is transported to a generator. | Advantages of this resource (include at least two) | 1. Very abundant underground.2. Is cleaner than most other

thermal power stations keeping in view the life cycle costs‚ recurring fuel costs‚ environmental cost and grid economy. Hydro power stations utilise water‚ as a zero cost input energy source against which there is a constant escalation in cost of fossil fuels used in thermal power station‚ thus making the operational cost of thermal power stations ever increasing. Electricity generation from the hydro is always economical because of the following reasons: * Life of Hydro Plants: Life of

Experts gave deadlines to our country’s natural resources. In 2025‚ trees in the forests of our country may possibly be gone. Same in this year‚ we will be suffering from low supply of clean water in the country. We could also suffer in low supply of fossil fuels in 2030. And in 2050‚ there’s no more fishes to eat. I’ve learned about the four main problem that we and the country will be facing in the future. One of the problem in the country is about the marine resources. It is shown in the documentary

Natural resources cannot be made by man‚ but man can help ensure their continued existence. People need many natural resources to live. Other natural resources are used to make life easier. Natural Resources Groups Air and wind Fossil fuels Minerals People Soil Sunlight Water Wildlife Air and Wind The atmosphere is the area surrounding the Earth. Air is the mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. Wind is the movement of the air. Water vapor‚ gases‚ and particulate

help 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

Good evening Governor‚ today I will discuss an important matter that has recently come to my attention‚ and many others as well. Many of American citizens‚ both civilians and those of various political stances‚ are very ambiguous on the topic of nuclear power. You are planning on building a nuclear power plant in East Pennsboro Township. I think that the idea of this is grand and a fantastic way for us to incorporate different styles and methods of energy in our community. T.M.I. has been safely

States. Renewable energy is any energy that its source is naturally replenished‚ which is solar‚ wind‚ geothermal or hydroelectric action. There’s another type of source called fossil fuel which is coal‚ oil‚ or gas there are nonrenewable source. Fossil fuels provide energy at a lower cost than renewable energy‚ but fossil fuel is the largest source of carbon dioxide which allows radiative forcing and contributes for global warming and the fear that it can all run out. One of the most popular renewable

While under a NASA grant‚ Matthew Silver was able to prove that electrochemically active microbes could clean water and convert it into a bio-gas that could be used as an alternative to fossil fuels.
