Renewable energy Renewable energy is any source of energy that doesn ’t consume the finite resources of the Earth and can be easily and quickly replenished. At present only a small proportion of the world ’s energy needs come from alternative and renewable energy sources. These exist in many forms including Solar Thermal‚ Photovoltaics‚ Wind‚ Hydro‚ Tidal/Wave and Bioenergy (including Biomass‚ Biogas and Biofuels). As with fossil fuels the sun ’s energy is the ultimate source of these energies.

How many of you drink energy drinks? Just one a day or a few a day? Did you know that while only one a day may not lead to excessive caffeine intake‚ two or more in a single day can? Excessive amounts of caffeine intake can lead to headaches‚ jitteriness‚ and upset stomachs. Kentucky is thinking about passing a law to make it illegal for someone under 18 to buy energy drinks. Many people (including me) want this law to be passed. When I did my research on this issue‚ it was found that in France

Solar Energy Introduction With the unlimited energy we receive from the sun‚ solar energy has the capabilities to meet the endless demand of energy and electricity both here in the United States and worldwide. Solar Energy is the one of a few energy sources that emits no carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at all. When comparing the cost and benefits of solar energy to other energy sources it is clear that solar energy is the most viable form of energy possible. With renewable energy becoming

An energy crisis is any great bottleneck) (or price rise) in the supply of energy resources to an economy. In popular literature though‚ it often refers to one of the energy sources used at a certain time and place. Causes Market failure is possible when monopoly manipulation of markets occurs. A crisis can develop due to industrial actions like union organized strikes and government embargoes. The cause may be over-consumption‚ aging infrastructure‚ choke point disruption or bottlenecks at

release of nuclear energy occurs when the nuclei of atoms are changed. Hydrogen and uranium are two kinds of matter used to produce nuclear energy. In a nuclear reaction‚ the tremendous binding energy inside a hydrogen or uranium nucleus is released. Nuclear energy is released during atomic fission‚ when uranium nuclei are split. It is also released during fusion‚ when hydrogen nuclei combine to form a helium nucleus. In fission and fusion‚ nuclear energy produces thermal energy‚ which is given

Renewable energy is energy that comes from resources which are continually replenished such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewable resources‚ with 10%[discuss] of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly.[2] The share of renewables
