Energy conservation refers to reducing energy through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service. For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services‚ it can result in

The Economic Impact of the BP Oil Spill In April of 2010‚ a British Petroleum operated oil drilling rig off the Gulf of Mexico‚ the Deepwater Horizon‚ exploded suddenly after high pressure methane gas from the oil well rose to the drilling rig‚ causing it to ignite and then sink to the bottom of the ocean floor. The explosion caused a sea-floor level oil blowout‚ and crude oil was leaked into the surrounding water for three months before a solution was found. After eighty-seven long days‚ the wellhead

discussed in Detail about Wind Energy and the production of electricity from moving vehicles. So first we defined Energy. Till Now we have studied that energy is the ability of a body to do work .it can also be defined as the ability of a body to bring some change is the energy of that body. Energy is very necessary for human beings; every thing in the universe possessed some energy. There are two main kinds of Energy 1.
