ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN Conserving energy is important to our society because it can extend the life time of non-renewable resources. Examples of these are oils‚ coal ‚ and gas. It also minimizes the use of larger more dangerous and environmentally damaging sources ‚such as deep sea oil and tar deposits. Currently the world produces 20 million barrels of oil each year. One-third of that is used by the United Sates. Concidering that only %35 of an oil well can be recoverd one-third is a lot to consume

Lab #7: Thermal Energy Heat is thermal energy being transferred from one place to another‚ because of temperature changes. This can take place by three processes. These three processes are known as conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation. When we place two objects with different temperatures in contact with each other‚ the heat from the hotter object will immediately and automatically flow to the colder object. This is known as conduction. Some objects make excellent conductors of heat while

Energy Summary SCI/362 2013 Energy Summary Introduction In this paper we explain some current environmental problems and how some people are looking for quick and temporary solutions without taking into consideration the environment. These solutions might be beneficial for the human existence in the present time or for a short period of time but the imminent destruction of the environment will be permanent due to the damage caused by the last generations‚ which are now seeing the consequences

Heat Heat is the transfer of energy from a hot object to a colder object‚ such as when toasting a slice of bread. The heat transfers onto the slice of bread which results in warm toast. When the slice of bread is heated‚ many things change; for example‚ the texture turns crunchy‚ the bread hardens‚ and the colour darkens. Where does the toast get its heat from? The toaster. Toaster A toaster is an electric small appliance designed to toast sliced bread by exposing it to heat. When a slice of bread

How does my wind generator work? Every wind generator‚ whether they produce enough energy to power a city or to power a small radio‚ works on these same basic principles... 1. The wind blows 2. The generator’s vane (tail) causes it to turn into the wind 3. Blades attached to an alternator/generator experience the force of lift and begin to spin 4. The spinning creates electricity for us to use directly or to charge batteries Sounds pretty simple eh? Well‚ then how the heck do I build one

immensely important role in our lives. In both the articles Energy Story by the California Energy Commission and Conducting Solutions by Rodney Schreiner we are given a fairly in-depth explanation to this fascinating tool. In a 2011 TED talk a speaker named AnnMarie Thomas introduces us to an intriguing concept‚ using playdough to conduct electrical experiments. All of these sources purposes are to help us better understand electricity. “Energy Story” starts by introducing us to the basis of everything

cleaner air and reduce our dependence of foreign oil‚ which is a major crisis because it is unhealthy for our land. I value that you created the Solar Sonoma County. If we had local access to renewable energy‚ especially in schools‚ then we can teach other children about our crises for renewable energy. I strongly encourage your idea of increasing the amount of money of scholarship‚ called the Middle School Scholarship program. I also support you in establishing funds to help farmers make the change

I remember summer 2008 when gas was almost five dollars a gallon. I was driving a Honda Civic and it cost me forty dollars to fill up my gas tank. When I first bought the car it only took me ten dollars to fill up the gas tank I was disappointed. I though
