Alternative Energy “Every day‚ the world produces carbon dioxide that is released to the earth’s atmosphere and will still be there in one hundred years’ time. This increased content of carbon dioxide increases the warmth of our planet and is the main cause of the so called “Global Warming Effect.” One answer to global warming is to replace current technologies with alternatives that have comparable or better performance‚ but do not emit carbon dioxide. We call this Alternate Energy.” (Alternative

Solar Panels Vs. Trees Many consumers have several questions if whether or not if their neighbors can block access to their solar panels with shading. In the case of Solar vs. Trees‚ the trees are the ones that block the solar panels from direct sunlight. Both these men are environmentally friendly. “In terms of loving the environment it seems that neither one can top the other.” (NPR 62) When it comes to the decision of cutting down trees to get sunlight for solar panels‚ which one seems to have

A global energy crisis is defined as any great shortfall in the supply of energy to an economy. Energy is oil‚ electricity‚ or other natural resources like coal and natural gas. When the energy supply to an economy becomes endangered or scarce‚ prices raise to record highs. This paper will cover historical events that caused energy crises in the past‚ recent events that affect today’s energy prices‚ and what is being done and proposed to lessen the United State’s dependence on some forms of non-renewable

Abstract: Solar energy is quite simply the energy produced directly from the sun and collected elsewhere‚ namely the Earth. Photovoltaic technology directly converts solar energy into electricity. Photovoltaic thin film solar cells are easy to handle ‚ inexpensive and also easy to use. Thin film panel is flexible and can tolerate a bullet hole without failing and can greatly increase the surface area and the absorption coefficient needed to generate electricity. This paper will discuss the advantages
