Alternate Energy What would it be like to live in the dark? Finding new forms of alternative energy has been a major concern throughout the world for the past several years. Currently‚ our main sources of energy are coal for electricity‚ and oil for transportation. Alternative energy‚ also known as renewable energy‚ is defined as energy derived from sources that do not use up natural resources or harm the environment. At the rate we are using these nonrenewable resources oil is scheduled to run

Thailand’s Experience whit clean energy technology Past achievements were considerable; still there is a wide window of opportunities to further promote clean and renewable energy technologies so that the country can better realize its full potential. Renewable energy currently makes up only a small percentage of the total electricity mixes in the country. Advanced clean fossil-fuel based technology is left largely unexplored despite the continued significance of fossil fuels in Thailand. It

Future energy Have you ever thought about the energy providing you electricity for your daily life that nuclear power could take you off from this world (it is not clear what you mean here)? What was your feeling when you watching news about the Fukushima nuclear crisis? What do you think when you see how victims of Chernobyl disaster live today? Good start – the questions are a very good way to get your reader’s attention.) All of those issues are just because of one reason – the safety problem

Many researchers are trying to find new renewable energy sources to help diminish carbon emissions‚ which cause global warming. Carbon dioxide (C02) is released from human activities as well as using fossil fuel these are the causes of global warming and the green-house effect (European commission 2003). The release of green house gases has risen because of increasing population and technology development which has resulted in high demand for the use of fossil fuels. This is a serious issue in many

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy consumption through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service.[1] 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

Renewable Energy INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND Renewable energy is a new concept to some people but in actuality it has been around and talked about for many years. What it is is energy that comes from a source that is not depleted when used‚ and can be replenished. Some of these sources are wind‚ rain and sunlight. Renewable energy can replace the common standard fuels humans use in the generation of electricity‚ hot water and heating‚ and motor fuels (“How Solar Energy Works

Coal is an un-renewable fossil fuel which is known as a cheap and reliable energy source. It has many environmental impacts‚ both positive and negative. Coal has a great economical effect providing thousands of people with jobs‚ and harmfully leaving individuals with un-producible land. It has a social impact negatively when people live near coal mines. Coal is a flammable‚ mostly black rock‚ which has been located in 50 different countries around the world. Coal is known as a fossil fuel because
