Nuclear Energy is the Future An Argumentative essay Presented to Dr. Marianne Jennifer M. Gaerlan Department of English and Applied Linguistics De La Salle University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for ENGLCOM Term 2‚ AY 2011-2012 09 December 2011 Do you believe that something small can power a country? A pound of Uranium has the capacity to produce the same amount of energy of 3 million pounds of fossil fuel. That ’s how powerful nuclear energy is‚ generating so

Renewables contributed 19 percent to our energy consumption and 22 percent to our electricity generation in 2012 and 2013‚ respectively. Both‚ modern renewables‚ such as hydro‚ wind‚ solar and biofuels‚ as well as traditional biomass‚ contributed in about equal parts to the global energy supply. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$ 214 billion in 2013‚ with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind‚ hydro‚ solar and biofuels.

Definition of Wind Energy “Wind Energy - Energy received from the movement of the wind across the earth. This energy is a result of the heating of our oceans‚ earth‚ and atmosphere by the sun. Turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power.” The German physicist Albert Betz calculated in 1919 the possible maximum amount of energy that can be extracted out of wind energy. He came to the result of 59.3% that can be extracted and named this

ETHANOL (E85): Types of fuels are ethanol‚ natural gas‚ diesel and hydrogen. Ethanol is simply grain alcohol obtained from corn. The corn is ground to powder form and mixed into a mash that is distilled to obtain ethanol which is a flammable liquid and then used as fuel. The ethanol could be mixed with gasoline blend in order to obtain reduced cost. In addition‚ the emission of Co2 would be reduced‚ but not completely eradicated because of its content of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol

In present day people all around the world have used many energy sources. For instance‚ cars have to use much fossil fuel energy. Coal and natural gas also have been used too much to heat homes and businesses even during the winter (Adapted from Rosenthal‚ E. ‚ 2010‚ December 11). As this information‚ ‘finding alternative energy sources is one of the major projects of this century in all countries because the world is running out of the natural resources’ (Edited extracts from authentic student

Running Off the Beaten Path Section I Old energy‚ that which comes from fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources‚ is now outdated. The costs are becoming tremendous and despite their reliability in the past cannot be depended upon for consistency or reliability. Contemporarily‚ efficiency is most important; getting the most out of everything we use. Most official energy forecasts assume massive growth rates in energy demand (Anderson). Renewables won ’t succeed unless we do efficiency first
