Fuel and energy-Why are fuel and energy important? I chose this topic because I think; it plays an important role in our life. Without fuel and energy‚ I wouldn’t be able to arrive to school on time‚ because I need to come to school by car‚ which would not work if there is no fuel. I wouldn’t be able to use Air Conditioner‚ because it need electricity to works….and many more example. The point is without fuel and energy‚ most part of our life would be meaningless. So it is important for us‚ that

Elizabeth Kolbert goes to Samso to visit Jorgen Tranberg and his wind turbine. The community of Samso used to depend on fossil fuels‚ but now‚ after embracing the power of clean wind energy‚ Samso now produces more energy than it uses. At the rate gas‚ oil‚ coal‚ and natural gas is

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% 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.[1] The share of renewables in

our energy and power sources. Green energy is a term used for sources of power and energy that are environmentally friendly. Basically this includes anything that is renewable energy. Renewable energy is considered energy that is constantly being replaced such as wood‚ vegetable matter‚ and trash. Green energy ’s main focus is to use sources that can cut down on pollution. Some of these sources of power and energy are Biomass energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydropower‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ wind

Is Wind Power Good or Bad ? A major issue in today’s world is finding an alternative energy source. Fossil fuel has been used for a very long time because it is a cheaper way to produce energy. Fossil fuel is a problem because it is non-renewable‚ which means it will eventually run out and this has us looking for another alternative for energy. That is why some people turn to wind power but‚ its a debate whether wind power is a good or bad alternative. It is a possibility but there are some

Energy Alternatives: * Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel. In a general sense in contemporary society‚ alternative energy is that which is produced without the undesirable consequences of the burning of fossil fuels‚ such as high carbon dioxide emissions‚ which is considered to be the major contributing factor of global warming. * This chapter discussed only a few of the possible alternatives to our current combustible energy generation system

Work Renewable and Non-renewable energy sources &Fuels: Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly and sustainably replenished. The most common renewable energy sources are biomass‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal‚ wind power and solar power. Sunlight is the source of most renewable energy power; the sun can be used to produce solar energy which is electricity for heating‚ cooling‚ lighting homes and transportation.
