electricity but I think that large scale hydroelectricity is good in the fact that it will become a cost effective method of energy generation in the long run. It is also a renewable source of energy and will generate jobs and careers for local townspeople. it very difficult to find a location best-suited for such a method‚ as large mountainous areas is where they’re only considered to work effectively. On the other hand while a small scale hydroelectricity is a goood idea because of how the maintance

resource. Despite being a renewable‚ no-emission power source‚ it is not without its environmental impacts. Currently the most widely used type of renewable energy‚ hydroelectricity accounts for over 20% of the world’s electricity. In Canada it constitutes for over 60 per cent of its power. Canada is the world leader of hydroelectricity production producing 353‚000 GWh in 2002. This is followed by the U.S.‚ which produced 300‚000 GWh‚ followed by Brazil‚ China‚ Russia‚ and then Norway. However the

With many advantages‚ hydroelectricity will carry us sustainably‚ meeting our needs for many‚ many years to come. Economically hydroelectric stations are extremely sustainable. Generally speaking it costs anywere from $100 Million dollars to $400 Million dollars to build one station‚ depending of size. The largest dam in the world (The

INTRODUCTION It is hard to live without Energy‚ but it is impossible to find another planet to live in. Energy is everything. It comes in many forms such as heat‚ electricity‚ light‚ mechanical energy. Conventional energy sources such as coal and oil are the main contributors to the global warming. Furthermore‚ these fossil fuels are not renewable‚ which means one day we will run out of them. The good news is alternative sources of energy can replace the current technologies we are using. These

INTRODUCTION Large or small hydropower‚ still far the most important of the renewable energy for electrical power production worldwide‚ providing 19% of planet’s electricity. However‚ hydropower on a small scale remains the most effective energy technologies to be considered for rural electrification in less develops country. The advantages of small hydro technology are the system can last for 50 years or more with less maintenance and also environmental friendly. Malaysian government has launched

559 Testing Your Comprehension 1. Fossil fuels are abundant on our planet today and can be used to create many sources of energy which is why they are so prevalent. They are considered nonrenewable sources of energy because they take millions of years to form and because humans are rapidly depleting our fossil fuels faster then they can be created‚ which makes these fuels nonrenewable. 2. Fossil fuels were formed from the tissues of organisms that lived 100-500 million years ago. The energy these

ENG 102 Boris Marinov Spring 2012 Professor Sean Homer Research Paper Why renewable power sources are better than nuclear power? Nuclear power is the most productive power source. However‚ there are several ongoing debates around the efficiency and the usage of nuclear power. Several factors such as the catastrophes in Chernobyl and Fukushima and the depleting of coal and gas reserves have led to the idea behind the renewable power sources. The renewable power sources are the future

Pakistan’s Energy Crisis EconomySouth AsiaPakistan August 31‚ 2013 By Shabbir H. Kazmi Energy shortages are hobbling the economy and contributing to unrest. But the country has options. Pakistan is in the midst of one of the worst energy crises in its history. This is both slowing the pace of economic activity and causing public unrest with prolonged outages of electricity and gas. Capacity utilization in some key industries has fallen to nearly 50 percent. Worst affected is the fertilizer
