standby to cover any sudden drops or increases in its output which adds significant cost to the running of a stable electricity grid (Kessides and Wade 2011) (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). This is because of instantaneous electrical generation and the consumption must remain balanced at all times to ensure grid stability‚ this variability creates substantial challenges when a large amount of wind energy is integrated into an electrical grid (Hirth and Ziegenhagen 2015). Transmission networks currently deal

A Changing World Introduction Mankind has been using Earth’s energy resources in one way or another for thousands of years. But recently‚ in the advanced society of the present‚ humans have been taking advantage of Earth’s energy resources. Every day‚ an average United States resident uses about 29 pounds of worth of coal in electrical energy; that adds up to more than five tons of coal a year. In addition to that‚ the average United States citizen also uses 500 gallons of gasoline each year.

The all-time records of the hottest years in history have been broken since global temperature has remained higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many parts of the world. Scientists also found that between 1982 and 2007‚ the overall temperature of the earth’s atmosphere increased by half a degree. Although this increase in temperature appears to be insignificant‚ small changes in the global temperature can actually

United States Landowners and Residents In today’s world‚ which most definitely has an environmentalist mindset‚ there seems to be a feud or conflict between those in favor of fossil fuels and those in favor of alternative energy‚ i.e. solar energy. It seems so disputed and heated that you could compare it to the rivalry in our political system among democrats and republicans. Each side wishes to strengthen our communities‚ states‚ nation(s)‚ and world politically and environmentally for the generations
