immediate action to incorporation renewable energy sources is crucial. Specifically‚ the government should stop giving subsidies to oil companies and instead be using taxpayers’ money to develop solar energy‚ such as‚ solar thermal energy in order to establish a sustainable‚ clean‚ responsible and efficient form for energy for generations to come. While solar energy startup and even maintenance costs can be just as expensive as oil and coal production‚ solar energy is undoubtedly worth the price in the

The Gogreen initiative proposed is a great idea. There is entirely too much waste on this planet. In order for any change to be made we must initiate the change ourselves. Trash pick up teams on major roads and highways are effective ways of trash clean up‚ but is it enough? The waste on planet earth is becoming very overwhelming. With landfills filling up to the brink of an overload‚ we are running out of places to store our trash. There is legitamately no more room for myself to waste. I recycle

Selection of Topic: Energy Crisis is a shortfall in or interruption to the provision of energy supplies. The planet is progressively marching towards a serious electric energy crisis‚ owing to an escalating desire of electric energy becoming greater than its supply. We have always accepted that the energy we make use of each day is not unrestricted‚ still we take it for granted. Coal‚ petroleum‚ electrical power‚ even water has inadequate availability. Nevertheless‚ we have not taken sufficient

Biomass Energy Introduction Biomass is biological material derived from living‚ or recently living organisms. It mostly often refers to plants or plant-derived materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. As a renewable energy source‚ biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat‚ or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. The source of biomass energy. Wood energy. is the largest

Sustainable Energy 1. How can electricity be defined? Electricity can be defined as the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a type of energy fuelled by the flow of electrons from positive and negative points within a conductor. 2. What is an electrical circuit? 3. What components are required to create an electrical circuit? In order to create an electrical circuit‚ you need: a) A source of electric power (battery or generator) b) A load to absorb the power (lamp
