The Economics of Renewable Energy in Kenya 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Introduction The Kenyan economy will increasingly feel the impact of the Government’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions‚ including targets for greater use of energy from renewable sources. The Government describes its targets for renewable as challenging; others have suggested they are unachievable. In any event‚ the effort to meet them will come at a cost and‚ if not properly managed‚ risks distracting attention from other

What is a renewable source of energy? Energy is essential for life. We use it in factories‚ in cars‚ airplanes‚ trains and ships. To heat food‚ light our houses etc. However‚ energy consumption is different in different countries. Since always human beings have used energy sources to do work or produce heat. Firstly‚ they used domestic animals or their physical forces. After‚ they used the wind and the water. Then‚ they exploited the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the near future we

Renewable energy is a microeconomics situation‚ it’s thriving for different type of business‚ and it’s becoming a substantial topic in the United States. Renewable energy is any energy that its source is naturally replenished‚ which is solar‚ wind‚ geothermal or hydroelectric action. There’s another type of source called fossil fuel which is coal‚ oil‚ or gas there are nonrenewable source. Fossil fuels provide energy at a lower cost than renewable energy‚ but fossil fuel is the largest source of

HUM/111 CRITICAL AND CREATIVE THINKING Renewable Energy Beneficial for the Environment or Not? Global warming is something that we all hear about and something that might concern most of us. Carbon is something that is already in our atmosphere and we need it to help keep out harmful radiation from the sun‚ but too much of it in our atmosphere can be very harmful to the planet. Too much carbon in the atmosphere reflects light and heat back down to earth‚ letting little escape‚ therefore

Renewable sources of energy A way to stop the problem of Global Warming is to get rid of the greatest source of CO2 emissions. The biggest source of Carbon Dioxide emissions are power stations that burn fossil fuels. So if the coal power stations are replaced by the renewable sources of energy it will reduce the concentration of CO2 but also get rid of the coal mining and transportation‚ which have huge environmental impacts such as deforestation‚ water and air pollution and also CO2 emissions

Over use of Antibiotics in Ear Infections The over use of antibiotics is a serious public health threat. Children are becoming desensitized to the effects of antibiotics due to being unnecessarily overmedicated. Over use of antibiotics for acute otitis media (AOM) can lead to future antibiotic resistant infections. Otitis media is usually a result of a poorly functioning Eustachian tube‚ a canal that links the middle ear with the throat area. Of the three basic types of ear infections‚ acute
