fossil fuels and explain why they are an attractive source of energy: Fossil fuels are energy sources such as petroleum‚ natural gas‚ and coal which contain the stored radiant energy of organisms that lived millions of years ago (Tillery‚ Enger‚ & Ross‚ 2009‚ p. 67). Fossil fuels are an attractive source of energy because they are accessible and cheap. Describe two different energy alternatives to fossil fuels in detail. Discuss how they work‚ how they compare with fossil fuels‚ and their

tractors and steam ships (B.Nebel and R.Wright 1995). Stationary steam engines were rapidly established in all the major industries. The major fuel for steam engines was firewood. By the end of the 1800’s‚ the demand for energy was ever increasing and firewood around industrial centres was becoming scarce. This led to a switch to coal as the major source for fuel and energy. As well as powering steam engines coal became widely used for heating‚ cooking and industrial processes. Air pollution during

country ’s continuous use of fossil fuels is endangering to nature and the wildlife it inhabits as well as the environment that we live in. Our society seems to think that fossil fuels we use in excess today will last forever but actuality will one day be depleted to unrepairable measures‚ which is why we need a cleaner more environmentally friendly substitute. With that said my paper is going to underline how our society would be able to transfer from fossil fuels to cleaner energies which are beneficial

This essay is compared Nuclear power against Fossil Fuels . In this essay ‚ I will show efficency of the Nuclear energy compared to Fossil Fuels. First of all ‚ Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity. Nuclear power plants provided about 5.7% of the world’s energy and 13% of the world’s electricity.The IAEA( International Atomic Energy Agency ) reported there were 439 nuclear power reactors in operation in the world‚ operating in 31 countries.
