Overuse injuries are speculated to be on the rise in kids. With increased pressure to specialize in a sport and the bar ever-raising to be more competitive and successful in sports‚ younger kids are specializing in one sport and training more hours per week then ever before. As a result‚ overuse injuries have been thrust into the public spotlight. Overuse injuries have previously been defined in a variety of ways. For example‚ Roos et. al described overuse injuries as “injuries that present in a

Renewable Energy Is Capable of Meeting Our Energy Needs Despite having public support and advantages over other energy sources‚ renewable technologies have been repeatedly characterized as unable to meet our energy needs. People have been presented only a choice between conventional fossil fuels and nuclear power. This‚ however‚ is a false choice. Renewable energy can reliably generate as much energy as conventional fuels‚ and can do so without producing carbon emissions or radioactive waste

Renewable Energy Renewable resources consist of any natural resource that can be replenished naturally. Meanwhile‚ petroleum takes millions of years to form and it difficult and expensive to extract. In 2012 the U.S. released 5‚290 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into our environment‚ hurting animals and the environment. And yet our country cannot see that petroleum is not the answer to how our country should run. America should run on renewable resources instead of petroleum. More money should

Renewable energy Renewable energy is any source of energy that doesn ’t consume the finite resources of the Earth and can be easily and quickly replenished. At present only a small proportion of the world ’s energy needs come from alternative and renewable energy sources. These exist in many forms including Solar Thermal‚ Photovoltaics‚ Wind‚ Hydro‚ Tidal/Wave and Bioenergy (including Biomass‚ Biogas and Biofuels). As with fossil fuels the sun ’s energy is the ultimate source of these energies

Furthermore‚ carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important causes to produce GHG which is combusted from heating‚ transportation and electricity generated by fossil fuels. However‚ one of the solutions for reducing CO2 emissions is using renewable energy to replace fossil fuel. In addition‚ renewable energy is generated by natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind and biomass which produce less or no pollution when generate energy. Furthermore‚ renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables
