Depletion of Natural Resources - Oil DEPLETION OF ENERGY RESOURCES Modern industrial society is based on a triad of hydrocarbons‚ metals‚ and electricity. The three are intricately connected; each is accessible only if the other two are present. Electricity‚ for example‚ can be generated on a global scale only with hydrocarbons. The same dependence on hydrocarbons is true of metals; in fact the better types of ore are now becoming depleted‚ while those that remain can be processed only with modern

GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS: THEN AND NOW Global Energy Crisis: Then and Now Introduction The world today faces an energy crisis. The world is dependent on certain natural resources like oil and natural gas that are quickly depleting. These resources are being imported from countries that have the ability to set higher prices due to demand (Nef 1977). Because of this‚ the world faces a great recession‚ and like Britain in the second half of the 16th century‚ we need to find alternative sources

report presents the emphasis on implementation of renewable energy resources in India. A detailed analysis of the renewable energy sector shows there are less policies and investments in the innovation of this energy. India has limited energy resources and one day it will only depend on renewable energy resources. For this‚ Indian government should implement several measures like sustainable planning; reasonable budget etc. so that renewable energy sources optimally utilized and conserves natural resources

Without the big power plants polluting the air and creating waste at a large scale: they emit CO2‚ one of the ‘greenhouse gases’ causing global warming‚ and other contaminated gases that decrease the air quality and change the climate. So that we can provide the needs for the next generations. But does actually everybody know the importance of renewable energy and what renewable

EXECUTIVE BRIEFING Energy sector is one of the most important sectors for the current economy. Nowadays‚ the access to energy is a key point for the development and welfare of a country. With that purpose‚ all the countries try to push forward their energy sectors‚ aiming to have enough resources to sustain their growing perspectives. Within the energy sectors‚ the electricity sector is considered a strategic one‚ considering the increase of electricity demand occurred during the last 15 years

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
