The earth receives extremely large amounts of energy coming from the sun. Solar energy has become a number one option for a future reliable‚ greener energy source. An article by the National Academy of Engineering‚ Make Solar Energy Economical‚ has proposed this issue as one of the many challenges engineers face this 21st century. The academy emphasizes‚ the sun’s “availability far exceeds any conceivable future energy demands. It is environmentally clean‚ and its energy is transmitted from the sun

Normally if you have found you have an infestation of mice in your home you will set up traps in order to get rid of them. The biggest problem with such items is that they don’t really stop mice from returning to your home. Instead when it comes to you wanting to eliminate these pests for good then installation of an electronic mouse repellent is highly recommended. So what benefits are there to be had from using these devices instead of conventional traps to help eliminate of unwanted mice in your

The average temperature of the earth’s surface is rising. According to the Natural Resources Canada: Overview of Climate Change in Canada‚ “the influence of anthropogenic climate change on Canada is evident in observed trends and temperatures simulated by global climate models” (Government of Canada)‚ which can have devastated impacts on humans (e.g. humans can die of heat stroke). The summer issue of Statistics Canada’s EnviroStats (2011) has a nation-wide survey on air conditioning. Surveys demonstrate

World War III‚ Global Warming “People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that‚ once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives‚ it will be too late to prevent much larger‚ potentially catastrophic changes‚” Elizabeth Kolbert. For decades our world has been changing slowly‚ and we have felt the wrath of global warming. Recent hurricanes such as Ike‚ Wilma‚ Katrina‚ Rita‚ and now Sandy have caused many casualties‚ billions of dollars in

Kasra Kazemi Marina Wobeck ENG 114.1001 October 24‚ 2012 Coal is dirty‚ oil and natural gas are limited‚ nuclear energy is dangerous‚ and then there is solar energy: clean‚ abundant and safe. It is already used around the Earth to give energy to those huge satellites into orbit but also in the surface of the Earth to provide electricity to many houses or other structures in need of energy. Indeed solar energy may be the most important renewable source of energy for the moment. However installations
