As we know‚ the United States consumes more power than any other country in the world. The success of the U.S. can be directly related to its power consumption. Most of our electricity that power our homes comes from burning fossil fuels (Coal‚ oil etc.) that puts Co2 in the atmosphere‚ this is causing major pollution. The U.S. has mainly refused to take this matter seriously‚ as showed by their refusal to ratify the Kyoto Protocol

(I) Solar Energy Hong Kong has a significant solar energy resource‚ with an annual average of 1.29 MWh/m2 (4.66 GJ/m2) global horizontal radiation. Both solar Photovoltaic and solar thermal power technologies produce electricity in Hong Kong. However‚ it would appear the potential for wide-scale application of solar Photovoltaic systems higher than thermal electric in Hong Kong because it would require more land or space for systems of comparable capacities. However‚ this is not to say solar

The societal demands for electrical energy have drastically increased in the past number of years. The sharp escalation of fuel consumption caused the demand for fossil fuels‚ which generate electrical energy‚ to increase as well. Almost 80% of domestic electricity use is used for space and water heating. To reduce the amount of energy produced by fossil fuels‚ the amount of electricity used must be lessened‚ and other renewable methods of electrical energy generation must be found. Research in the

As time goes on‚ technological advances require more efficient sources of power. At the forefront of research for these power sources are hydrogen fuel cells. This power source takes in the most abundant element in the universe‚ Hydrogen‚ and yields immense power without combustion or pollution. The three aspects of this scientific breakthrough are the fuel cells‚ hydrogen production‚ and hydrogen storage. Fuel cells are the devices with which Hydrogen is made into electricity. These use a

Introduction The energy consumed in Spain every day‚ both for the industrial sector‚ as for domestic consumers comes from multiple forms of primary energy sources‚ from which we get electricity. It is important to consider where these primary energy sources come from‚ and the value year after year the degree of self-sufficiency that primary energy resources have in Spain. The energy sector accounts for about 2.5% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product. However‚ this sector has a greater importance
