Nuclear energy… Boon or Bane ? Nuclear energy? Nowadays these two words are always sticking on the society’s mouth‚ but do they know the actual meaning of it? Nuclear energy is basically defined as the energy released by the reaction within the nuclei‚ as in nuclear fission or fusion. The core reason of using nuclear energy is to generate electric power to satisfy human needs. Usage of the nuclear power plant as an energy generator came together with several boons and banes.

Energy Planning Proposal By Brandon Morgan SCI 362 Professor Howard Schmidt September 2‚ 2014 In this time energy is one of the most sought after resources we ask for. It powers just about everything we deal with and use on a daily basis. From the ATM to the charger for your phone. This energy costs money yet should we just throw the money towards the simplest solution at the time‚ or would it be wiser to look towards the long term use of the method of making energy?

The increase in CO2 leads to melting of polar ice caps which increases the sea level and pose danger for the people living near coastal areas. 4. Ozone Layer Depletion: Ozone layer is the thin shield high up in the sky that stops ultra violet rays from reaching the earth. As a result of human activities‚ chemicals‚ such as chlorofluorocarbons

Application of Energy ------------------------------------------------- Forms of energy Main article: Forms of energy Energy exists in many forms: Heat‚ a form of energy‚ is partly potential energy and partly kinetic energy. In the context of physical sciences‚ several forms of energy have been defined. These include: * Thermal energy‚ thermal energy in transit is called heat * Chemical energy * Electric energy * Radiant energy‚ the energy of electromagnetic radiation *

Definition of Wind Energy “Wind Energy - Energy received from the movement of the wind across the earth. This energy is a result of the heating of our oceans‚ earth‚ and atmosphere by the sun. Turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power.” The German physicist Albert Betz calculated in 1919 the possible maximum amount of energy that can be extracted out of wind energy. He came to the result of 59.3% that can be extracted and named this
