manipulations of fossil fuels represent an arduous and taxing means for producing energy to power further innovation. Therefore‚ novel methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major consumer of resources such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Consumers of energy continue to grow exponentially‚ which poses a huge challenge to these diminishing

The capacity to cause change‚ or to move matter in a direction it would not move if left alone. A child pushing a ball‚ the energy is transferred from the muscle of the child to the ball forcing the ball to move. What is kinetic energy? The energy of motion‚ moving matter performs work by transferring

I will be informing you about nuclear energy. Prior to giving this information‚ let’s look at some history. Ancient Greek philosophers were the first to come up with the idea that matter is made up of invisible particles. The Greeks called these invisible particles "atoms"‚ which is Greek for invisible. Scientists studied this idea in the 18th and 19th centuries. After many experiments physicists found out that atoms contain a large amount of energy. Ernest Rutherford‚ a British scientist

Waste-to-energy Taking Care of Garbage Michelle Rowland Buena Vista University Waste-to-energy Taking Care of Garbage We all have to share this world with its limited resources. We must take advantage of all resources we have‚ regardless if they came from the earth‚ are man made‚ or are waste products. The average person in America throws away 3.7 pounds of garbage every day (Resource Recovery Public Works‚ 2009). It is no surprise that this leads to landfills that are filling faster

IS NUCLEAR ENERGY A SOLUTION TO THE ENERGY CRISIS? Contents * Abstract * Introduction * Report * Conclusion * Bibliography * Appendix Abstract Nuclear energy could be the future of energy and potentially solve the energy crisis problem. Nuclear energy is a sustainable energy source and it can provide millions of times the amount of energy output from a fixed mass of fuel than any other energy source‚ such as fossil fuel‚ for the same mass of fuel.
