Energy is an important part of our life‚ and no human being in the 21st century can live without it‚ energy now a day means electricity and electricity is running our world‚ with no energy there will be no electricity and then no hospitals‚ no technology and we will go back to stone ages. Energy sources on planet earth can be classified into two types‚ “renewable” and “nonrenewable” energy sources‚ they both differ in many aspects‚ both of them have advantages and disadvantages‚ and both of them

limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources on Earth‚ it is important to conserve our current supply or to use renewable sources so that our natural resources will be available for future generations. Energy conservation is also important because consumption of nonrenewable sources impacts the environment. Specifically‚ our use of fossil fuels contributes to air and water pollution. For example‚ carbon dioxide is produced when oil‚ coal‚ and gas combust in power stations‚ heating systems‚ and car engines

key energy source causes energy insecurity. Currently‚ non-renewable energy resources for instance oil‚ coal and gas constitutes 73% of the total energy consumption. In particular‚ oil still makes up 36% of Indonesia’s total primary energy consumption in 2012‚ despite its declining significance over the years.With Indonesia’s current oil consumption of about 1.36 million barrels daily (bpd) against oil production of only 826‚000 bpd‚ Indonesia faces problems satisfying domestic energy demand.

the shortage could lead to rising incidence of power outages and greater import dependency on fossil fuels such as crude oil and coal. Let us first take a look at where we stand in terms of overall investment achievement in the energy sector. The World Bank has estimated the minimal annual investment needed for energy and related infrastructure at about 5 per cent of the GDP. New electricity generating capacity of nearly 700‚000 MW would need to be added—at the rate of 140‚000 MW per

Abstract Green computing is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently. The goals are similar to green chemistry; that is reduce the use of hazardous materials‚ maximize energy efficiency during the product ’s lifetime‚ and promote recyclability or biodegradability of defunct products and factory waste. Taking into consideration the popular use of information technology industry‚ it has to lead a revolution of sorts by turning green in a manner no industry has ever done before
