GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS: THEN AND NOW Global Energy Crisis: Then and Now Introduction The world today faces an energy crisis. The world is dependent on certain natural resources like oil and natural gas that are quickly depleting. These resources are being imported from countries that have the ability to set higher prices due to demand (Nef 1977). Because of this‚ the world faces a great recession‚ and like Britain in the second half of the 16th century‚ we need to find alternative sources

Nuclear energy… Boon or Bane ? Nuclear energy? Nowadays these two words are always sticking on the society’s mouth‚ but do they know the actual meaning of it? Nuclear energy is basically defined as the energy released by the reaction within the nuclei‚ as in nuclear fission or fusion. The core reason of using nuclear energy is to generate electric power to satisfy human needs. Usage of the nuclear power plant as an energy generator came together with several boons and banes. As quoted by the

Renewable energy is energy from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ these resources are naturally replenished. Renewable energy does not harm the environment or deplete any of our natural resources like fossil fuel. Renewable energy is not subject to sharp price changes because it comes from natural resources. Biomass is currently the largest U.S. renewable energy source with more than two hundred existing bio power plants providing energy for one point five

Wind Energy Wind energy is a free‚ renewable resource‚ so no matter how much is used today‚ there will still be the same supply in the future. Because the wind energy is also the source of the clean‚ and non- polluting‚ electricity. Wind energy is friendly to the surrounding environment‚ as no fossil fuels were to generate electricity from wind energy. Wind Energy is a viable industry that has become energy source. The energy generated from wind is clean and efficient. The wind energy industry
