Can Nuclear Energy Be the Answer? It is only possible to mitigate global warming if the world-wide consumption of fossil fuels can be drastically reduced in the next 10 to 15 years. There is simply no room for a scenario as it is depicted by Lester R. Brown in the book Plan B 4.0 Mobilizing to Save Civilization. The scenario plays out like a horror movie‚ poverty‚ depleted water supply‚ food shortages‚ terrorism‚ over population‚ disastrous floods‚ erratic changes in ocean currents and global

immediate action to incorporation renewable energy sources is crucial. Specifically‚ the government should stop giving subsidies to oil companies and instead be using taxpayers’ money to develop solar energy‚ such as‚ solar thermal energy in order to establish a sustainable‚ clean‚ responsible and efficient form for energy for generations to come. While solar energy startup and even maintenance costs can be just as expensive as oil and coal production‚ solar energy is undoubtedly worth the price in the

Selection of Topic: Energy Crisis is a shortfall in or interruption to the provision of energy supplies. The planet is progressively marching towards a serious electric energy crisis‚ owing to an escalating desire of electric energy becoming greater than its supply. We have always accepted that the energy we make use of each day is not unrestricted‚ still we take it for granted. Coal‚ petroleum‚ electrical power‚ even water has inadequate availability. Nevertheless‚ we have not taken sufficient

Alternative Energy Alternative Energy whether used for transportation or utilities such as generating electricity for home or business is a very significant subject going on right now because of the benefits it would provide for us‚ such as environmental‚ economic‚ job security and energy security. I believe alternative energy would be beneficial to our society‚ especially if it is used in transport; there is many other better‚ leaner and reusable energy sources out there‚ for example fuel for

Renewable Energy Summary Renewable energy flows involve natural phenomena such as sunlight‚ wind‚ tides‚ plant growth (biomess) and geothermal heat. According to the International Energy Agency (2002)‚ “Renewable energy is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly. In its various forms‚ it derives directly from sun‚ or from heat generated deep within the earth. Included in the definition is electricity and heat generated from solar‚ wind‚ ocean‚ hydropower‚ biomass‚ geothermal

Topic Canada should subsidize renewable energy options such as wind and solar power in order to increase the share of renewables in Canada’s energy balance. Introduction Canada government subsidizes a number of socially beneficial services‚ including health care‚ education and energy services. Subsidies to the energy sector mainly are for oil and gas production‚ however‚ they are not all socially beneficial[figure 1]. In fact‚ they have negative impact for the environment and hinder

Clean Energy is Possible First of all‚ energy comes from many sources like oil‚ coal‚ nuclear and wood. These four sources and others are dirty energy. There is clean energy like the solar‚ wind‚ water‚ and kinetic energy. Both of them cause bad or good problems I agree with writer with some points and I disagree with hem on other points. First I agree with him with the point the one that he talks about burning wood and coal causes a lot of pollution in the atmosphere also burning oil is dirty
