are two primary methods for generating electricity from water. One method uses the energy potential of trapped water in dams in a more sophisticated version of the water wheel‚ and the other method of generating electricity is to capture energy from ocean waves. Electricity generated from water is entirely renewable‚ sinccete water is an abundant natural resource First method:When a dam is used to generate energy‚ tunnels are installed in the dam when it is built. These tunnels are lined with turbines

1. Nuclear power and solar power: Goal: Which is better for people? Argue Solar power is better than Nuclear power Points: Pollution free – production Safety Convenience Human beings have been using fossil fuels for hundreds of years‚ satisfying the demand of industrialization. The behavior of using fossil fuels‚ on the other hand‚ causes huge pollution‚ such as soil‚ water and atmosphere contamination. In addition‚ fossil fuels‚ such as solid‚ liquid and gas‚ are all facing on the exhaustion

issues in today’s world is that of energy sources to power an increasing global demand. Traditionally‚ humans have converted energy from natural resources like coal and natural gas for use. However‚ these sources of energy are both nonrenewable and cause large amounts of pollution. As we progress through the 21st century‚ renewable energy sources like solar and wind energy will see increased use to replace traditional sources. One of these sources‚ wind energy‚ is seeing a rise in development because

renewable energy? Well‚ because its renewable. Renewable energy will last forever and it cost close to nothing to get it. But it will always be their‚ unlike coal that once its gone‚ its gone. I think that the best process to get renewable energy is through geothermal plants. Some scientists think that the amount of geothermal energy stored in the earth will outlast our energy consumption and it may even outlast the sun. (Energy Informative) Geothermal is the most cost effective way to get energy‚ with

With an increasing awareness in the fight against global warming and greenhouse gas emissions‚ governments around the world are looking for alternative sources of energy. These include wind‚ solar and hydro energy sources‚ known as renewable sources (Able to be regrown). However‚ one fuel source in particular is currently being used and produced to power both vehicles and electrical generators around the world; biofuels. Biofuels are renewable gas or liquid fuels made from plant matter such as corn

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY 4 December 2013 Introduction Geothermal is derived from the Greek word ‘geo’ which means ‘earth’ and ‘thermal’ meaning ‘heat’‚ therefore geothermal refers to an energy or heat from the earth. In layman’s terms it is referred to power resulting from the thermal activating within the earth’s crust as a result of volcanic activity. Geothermal energy’s resources range from the surfaces just below the earth‚ to the hot rock‚ which heats water deep beneath the earth

Can Nuclear Energy Be the Answer? It is only possible to mitigate global warming if the world-wide consumption of fossil fuels can be drastically reduced in the next 10 to 15 years. There is simply no room for a scenario as it is depicted by Lester R. Brown in the book Plan B 4.0 Mobilizing to Save Civilization. The scenario plays out like a horror movie‚ poverty‚ depleted water supply‚ food shortages‚ terrorism‚ over population‚ disastrous floods‚ erratic changes in ocean currents and global
