Energy Conservation A Major Part of the Solution to Energy Generation and Global Warming Dennis Silverman U. C. Irvine Physics and Astronomy Why Us (U.S.)? With 5% of the world’s population‚ the U.S. uses 26% of the world’s energy. A U.S. resident consumes 12‚000 kWh of electricity a year‚ nine times the world’s avg. The average American household emits 23‚000 pounds of CO2 annually. Two billion people in the world do not have electricity. Just using off the shelf

In addition‚ renewable energy is generated by natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind and biomass which produce less or no pollution when generate energy. Furthermore‚ renewable energy will be demanded for approximately half of the worldwide electricity supplies to reduce CO2 emissions by 2050‚ which it is estimated by The International Energy Agency (Cited in Shi 2010). This essay will focus on two forms of renewable energies which are solar

Energy Management Executive Summary Energy management is defined as " the judicious use of energy to accomplish prescribed objectives." (Turner‚ 2005‚ p. xviii). The purpose of our presentation is to increase the awareness of the significance of energy management‚ to provide some real examples of successful companies applying energy management programs‚ and to provide information about governmental incentives in regards to this issue. Energy management falls under the big umbrella of social

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

Also‚ many of these methods we are currently abusing to generate energy are non-renewable. Thats means we could run out any day now. This is a formula for complete disaster‚ but don’t be scared. Like most things we can fix this situation we have put ourselves into with alternative energy sources. Sorry

Energy Crises Energy is considered to be life line of any economy and most vital instrument of socioeconomic development of a country. Energy is pivotal in running machinery in factories and industrial units‚ for lighting our cities and powering our vehicles etc. There has been an enormous increase in the demand of energy as a result of industrial development and population growth‚ in comparison to enhancement in energy production. Supply of energy is‚ therefore‚ far less than the actual
