Flow Diagram showing how electricity is produced using fossil fuels (GCSE Bitsesize) There are two types of electricity‚ static electricity and current electricity. On a large scale‚ static electricity causes lightning and on a smaller scale‚ gives you a shock when you get out of a car. It can be generated

How can the alternative source of energy be harnessed effectively? Losing polluting natural resource is one of the most serious problems that people concerned during the 21st century. Scientists have found that traditional sources like fossil fuels are threatening people’s lives as well as the environment. Due to this‚ some countries have started their plans to harness‚ renewable energy and achieved satisfactory success. For a decade‚ the majority of countries in Europe have proved that used alternative

causing sparks against dry tinder or fleece. But now there are many alternative sources of energy for people to use. And fossils fuels helped them a lot. People have used more than 90% of fuels‚ such as oil‚ coal and natural gas to produce electricity. These things are non-renewable. The more we use these fuels it will decrease every day. Today fossils fuels are a risk for our planet and people should search alternative way of energy‚ which is a new way to produce

and others. (Thus creating the phrase energy cannot be created or destroyed.) There are many advantages of using fossil fuel. One is that fossil fuel help reduce the time it takes time to getting one place to another. For example: Before fossil fuel it would take the average person days to go from one state to another or hours to get travel between cities. Also‚ in using fossil fuel Power plants could produce enough energy to power their homes‚ which includes lighting‚ heat‚ central air‚ and cooking

contributor to global warming‚ given that humans use fossil fuels to power their increasingly mechanized lifestyles. More people means more demand for oil‚ gas‚ coal and other fuels mined or drilled from below the Earth’s surface that‚ when burned‚ spew enough carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere to trap warm air inside like a greenhouse. The scientists who are most alarmed about global warming insist that in order to fix it‚ the burning of fossil fuels must be dramatically cut back. This would not

but that dose not mean the United States needs to completely abolish the use of fossil fuels. The untied states is the worlds largest oil consumer‚ using more than 1/3 of the worlds oil (Altars 8). The majority of America’s oil is used to make gasoline for cars and other motor vehicles‚ it is also refined to generate electric power and diesel engines (Altars 6). If the United states were to extinguish the use of fossil fuels and switch over to renewable resources the nation would be using resources

There has also been a significant increase in the use of fossil fuels. This year alone‚ gas increased to a whopping $3.21 average in the state of Alabama alone (www.gasbuddy.com). California had the biggest increase going above the $5.00 mark (www.gasbuddy.com). As long as our fossil fuel supplies continue to vanish‚ the price for gas will climb and with no decrease in gas usage‚ we may never recover. What are fossil fuels? Fossil fuels‚ also known as mineral fuels‚ are hydrocarbon-containing

green house effect which include the burning of fossil fuels‚ deforestation‚ and population growth. The green house effect is rising in temperature over the years because green house gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun. The first cause in rise of green house gases is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. The burning of fossil fuels is used in manufacturing‚ transportation‚ and heating and powering. Burning Fossil fuels increase carbon dioxide gases which in

number of arguments in favor of the diversification of energy sources in Australia. Development based on fossil fuels make the climate changing a more serious problem. According to Harding(2008) industrialized countries have responsibility to recognize renewable energy solutions as a priority and reduce the dependency on fossil-fuel energy‚ for the reason that the development relianted on fossil fuels has caused climate change issues. Moreover‚ the diversification of energy sources is environmentally

large deposits of natural gas‚ there will be less usage of fossil fuels. With the fossil fuels being used over a greater period of time‚ research can be done to discover cleaner alternative energy sources. While natural gas is still detrimental to the environment‚ it does cause less carbon dioxide emissions than fossil fuels‚ so this is a common argument for fracking. While this argument makes sense if you are comparing gas to fossil fuels‚ it still pollutes the environment more than energy sources
