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

world’s current way to produce‚ convert and consume energy comes with a price. Development of sustainable energy technologies which can continue providing the society with energy-derived benefits without further environmental destructions is highly desired. A series of green energy solutions‚ such as solar‚ wind and biomass energy‚ are employed in the hope of preventing the impending global energy crisis (Wang‚ Chem and Huang 2010). Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) which capable of harvesting electricity

Waste-to-energy Taking Care of Garbage Michelle Rowland Buena Vista University Waste-to-energy Taking Care of Garbage We all have to share this world with its limited resources. We must take advantage of all resources we have‚ regardless if they came from the earth‚ are man made‚ or are waste products. The average person in America throws away 3.7 pounds of garbage every day (Resource Recovery Public Works‚ 2009). It is no surprise that this leads to landfills that are filling faster

South America‚ Europe‚ Africa‚ and Asia combined (Source: Energy Information Agency) ! Modern world get well more than 80% of its energy from fossil fuels‚ major part of it is oil. We use oil everywhere‚ from lipstick and painkillers to gasoline and tires. Almost everything that we use on daily basis is made out of oil. According to the EIA‚ over 60% of world transportation is ran on oil based fuels. How much longer can we consume the resource until we run out of it? If someday we run out of oil‚ I

augments in favor of the diversification of energy sources in Australia. Using alternative sources of energy of the dependency on fossil fuel such as coal may reduce the greenhouse gas emission impact on the environment. Nicholls (2009) speculates that using clean energy that depends on natural wind‚ sun and geothermal in not only practical and has economical advantages but it also may be able to reduce the CO2 emission to 50% by 2040. In addition‚ sustainable energy is not only essential for Australians

researchers are trying to find new renewable energy sources to help diminish carbon emissions‚ which cause global warming. Carbon dioxide (C02) is released from human activities as well as using fossil fuel these are the causes of global warming and the green-house effect (European commission 2003). The release of green house gases has risen because of increasing population and technology development which has resulted in high demand for the use of fossil fuels. This is a serious issue in many countries
