Sci 275 Annajane Schnapp Final project: Mitigation Plan Energy Conservation/ Non-renewable energy sources Energy has easily become one of the most important necessities for our everyday lives. Without it we would simply not be able to have transportation or be able to gather any of our other resources that we depend on. If at anytime our energy supply ceases or no longer attainable the results may be horrific. However‚ it is quite easy to keep this from happening‚ It is crucial that our current

3.1 Introduction This chapter will primarily focus on addressing the rural electrification needs which remain unfulfilled which were discussed in chapter 1 previously‚ through incorporating market mechanisms to create viable and sustainable business models to propagate solar decentralized solutions towards providing grid quality electricity. The significant nature of both the unelectrified and underelectrified portions of the rural population remain an impediment to growth and inadvertently suppresses

Each year fossil fuels pollute the earth and in turn contribute to global warming. Pollution from fossil fuels is harmful to humans‚ ecosystems‚ as well as the overall environment. Fossil fuels pollute streams‚ rivers and even vast areas of the ocean. Just recently there was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; this spill caused the deaths of

nuclear power doesn’t give off any greenhouse gases but produces radioactive and nuclear waste. France‚ Japan‚ and the United States of America generated 56.5% of nuclear power. In 2007‚ there were 439 nuclear power reactors operating around the world in 31 different countries. “The United States produces the most nuclear energy‚ with nuclear power providing 19% of the electricity it consumes‚ while France produces the highest percentage of its electrical energy from nuclear reactors - 78% as of

Abstract Through years of research and studies‚ renewable and sustainable energy resources have proven to help decrease greenhouse gases that are products of the main current world energy sources. With the rising cost and consumption of petroleum to rise in the future‚ the race to finding sustainable energy is heating up because the status quo is causing serious negative effects on the environment. It is unknown if these effects are reversible. Using
