fossil fuel? A major advantage of fossil fuels is their capacity to generate huge amounts of electricity in just a single location. When coal is used in power plants‚ they are very cost effective. Coal is also in abundant supply. Power stations that make use of fossil fuel which can be constructed in almost any location. This is possible as long as large quantities of fuel can be easily brought to the power plants. Consequences Pollution is a major disadvantage of fossil fuels. Fossil fuel releases
Premium Coal Fossil fuel
India is dominated by coal-fired thermal plants to the extent of 72%[ii]‚ primarily due to the low cost of generation and abundance of coal deposits. With time‚ the depletion of oil‚ natural gas and coal reserves would push the price of these fossil fuels up. This scenario would make the other sources of power generation like nuclear power a cheaper option. Therefore‚ it is necessary to have diversity

heat‚ work‚ etc. In today’s society there are two main sources used known as renewable and non-renewable sources Non-renewable sources are the sources that cannot be rehabilitated after an interval of time and then develops into petroleum‚ fossil fuels‚ natural gas‚ etc. These sources pollute the environment with dangerous gases as well as the atmosphere. These sources are clean and non- polluting of dangerous gases keeping it to a minimal considerable amount. These sources can never be exhausted

destroying‚ and from whose perspective? How would you answer these questions for fuel cell vehicles? Hybrid electrical vehicles are an incremental innovation. In the perspective of customers and some companies who support the concept of hybrid vehicles‚ they are competence enhancing while in other perspective of those companies who are not supporting the concept of hybrid vehicles‚ they are competence destroying. For fuel cell vehicles‚ they are a radical innovation. From the perspective of the companies

This power can be used for a generator‚ a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools‚ and many others. Biofuel energy unlike other renewable energy sources can be converted directly into liquid fuels for our transportation needs usually found from dead plants and animals. The two most common types of biofuels are ethanol and biodiesel. Pros for wind energy would be wind energy conserves and keeps water clean. For example turbans made for creating

happens when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide‚ water vapor‚ nitrous oxide‚ and methane trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere‚ which increases the temperature. Greenhouse gases are released mostly by the burning of fossil fuels for transportation‚ heating‚ electrical appliances and manufacturing‚ but they are also released as a result of the natural decomposition of organic materials‚ wildfires‚ deforestation‚ and land-clearing activities. The diffusion of these gases results

primary argument against these ’pollution solutions’ begins with a logic of cost. Opponents to these policy options might suggest that renewable energy sources may be a good idea‚ but they cost more to produce a KWH of electricity than their fossil fuel counterparts. In recent years‚ environmentalists with a keen sense of economics have confronted the cost argument head on. They’ve adopted many economic models to show that the price of a gallon of gas or a KWH of electricity is not always as transparent

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

their energy usage. We moved to this beautiful country to assert our independence and yet we feel we have to bow down to other countries for what we need. I feel we should find other ways to get our fuel like ethanol. We can make our own fuel and even if it cost more we no longer have to fight for our fuel. We can make our ethanol from corn husk and not the actual kernel so it would not interfere with the increase of food prices. To many people ethanol is the choice and I agree. There are other
