INTRODUCTION Energy is the basic necessity for life. But for energy no form of life would have ever emerged. We all know energy for providing us light and comfort. It can help us to cool down during summers and feel warm during winters. It also helps us to go from one place to another. All automobiles need energy to run; but even otherwise all other means of transport need energy. But even though we use it every moment of our life and learn about it at school it often remains a riddle

Why should we save energy in schools? Saving energy leads to reduce carbon emissions‚lower costs and conserves the supplies we have.They are also working in support with high schools to support energy efficiency."We believe energy efficiency is the cheapest and cleanest form of "new" energy the world has." - energy efficiency unit of Chevron.Even though energy suppliers want your business‚ they are looking for more of an investment instead of wasting energy when it isn’t necessary. They believe

Solar Panels in the Mojave Desert Overview In 1971‚ a husband and wife‚ Aden and Marjorie Meinel‚ patented an idea to produce solar panels in the Mojave Desert. The solar panels they proposed were to stretch through the Mojave Desert for 5‚000 miles and would collect 1‚000‚000 megawatts of electrical power. The electrical energy would then be stored in a manufacturing facility locally so that the solar energy could be converted and used by millions of people. The Meinel’s proposal was dismissed

kilowatt-hour for green energy somehow seems like too high of a cost for little gain. This is a continuing issue with the green energy movement: how do you get consumers to pay a premium for green energy? APS is facing this problem‚ and our solution is eGreen‚ a campaign to tie APS to green energy and motivate customers to ¡§go green.¡¨ Using green energy sources stops millions of tons of CO2 emissions from entering the atmosphere each year. Basing on existing APS Green Choice renewable energy plan‚ eGreen
