moment‚ 94 % of the world’s energy comes from oil‚ gas and coal. But these ‘fossil fuels’ won’t last for ever. There’s only enough oil and gas for the next 50 years. Coal will last longer — perhaps about 300 years. And then? Well‚ one answer is nuclear energy. But‚ today‚ after Chernobyl‚ many people think it’s too dangerous. There are four solutions. They all use natural energy in the environment: wind energy‚ solar energy‚ wave energy (from the sea)‚ and geothermal energy (from ‘hot’ rocks under the

One of them is when we use electricity; we always left it plugged even if we are not using it‚ even this simple act is using energy that is why we should always unplug electronics every time we are finish using them. They said that the sea helps us to lessen the CO2 or the Greenhouse Gases‚ but because there are many of them they could not cope and the result is that even the

The tailor made fish farm also utilizes the energy from the sun to create a passive solar design to maintain temperatures required by the tropical fish they also make. This “green-house” design is constructed of a large concrete slab floor that runs filtration pipes through it. The walls are insulated with panels and

Next Saving energy Generating electricity Electricity can be generated in many ways‚ including in power stations using fossil fuels or biomass fuel using wind turbines using hydroelectric power schemes using wave power or tidal power using solar cells. Most of the UKs electricity is generated in power stations using fossil fuels. Thermal energy released from the burning fuel is used to boil water to make steam‚ which expands and turns turbines. These drive the generators to produce electricity.

Consider the cylindrical receiver in a solar thermal power plant shown below. The receiver is made of opaque material and has a diameter D = 8m and length L = 14m. At a particular time‚ the heliostats direct a concentrated solar flux of q”S = 80 kW/m2 onto the receiver. The ambient air has a temperature T( = 300K and there is no wind. Under these conditions‚ the surface of the receiver has a temperature of Ts = 700K‚ an emissivity of ( = 0.3 and a solar absorptivity (S = 0.8. i) Calculate

Whether your energy is coming from a generator or a power plant you still have to stop and think of the resources you are using and the negative impact it has on the earth.

would anyone use solar energy as an alternative energy to solve the world’s pollution problem? As humans‚ everyday we burn many different types of fossil fuels to produce ourselves electricity and to power up our vehicles‚ and so we create a lot of pollution‚ making this our own fault.
