safer energy sources. Water pumping windmill is also one such alternative. It is a perfect power source for a farmhouse. It efficiently uses wind energy to pump out ground water which can further be used to keep warehouse as well as farmhouse cool during summer. This water can further be used to rotate a turbine and thus generating electricity. In this way‚ water pumping windmills utilizes wind energy to meet general requirements of a farmland and thus decrease our dependency on traditional

People use this for their energy‚ fuel and heating requirements. But fossil fuels polluting environment so much and people started to think about using alternative energy for their environment’s healthy. ‘’These alternative energy resources are windy power‚ solar energy and geothermal energy.‘’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_energy) They are renewable resources and they pollute environment so much less than fossil fuels because of that many people want to use alternative energy for their environment’s

pollution is the use of coal to generate electricity. Approximately 50% of the power in the United States comes from coal fired electrical generation plants (UCSUSA‚ 2009). A typical 500 megawatt generation plant burns 1.4 million tons of coal per year (UCSUSA‚ 2009). Not only is the pollution evident from the exhaust stacks of the generation plant‚ there is the pollution created from the mining and transportation to the power-plant (UCSUSA‚ 2009). Because of the amount of air pollution generated‚ there

REGIME FOR OFFSHORE RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS IN SCOTTISH WATERS. ADAKU UFERE 1. INTRODUCTION Renewables are energy forms which are essentially inexhaustible‚ unlike fossil fuel sources‚ which are finite. Renewable energy sources include wind (onshore and offshore)‚ hydro‚ wave‚ tidal‚ biomass‚ solar‚ and geothermal. Renewable energy can be used for heating and transport as well as electricity generation. Generating energy from renewable sources continues to rise in profile and importance

Urgent need for renewable energy Introduction In today’s world the most important thing human’s need is electricity. Without electricity most of the modern equipment would not work. Similarly fuel is needed to power transportation devices. Natural recourses such as coal‚ oil and natural gas are the basis for producing energy for all kinds of devices. Due to the extensive use of these resources they now face extinction. These resources are classified as non-renewable resources. In this report

paper. Why is it important to introduce categorization based on renewable versus non-renewable energy? Historically renewable energy was first energy humankind used. Going from use of fuelwood as a source of cooking and providing heat to using wind energy for transportation and later as a source of mechanical energy in first machinery renewables played absolutely essential role for development in preindustrial time. It hard to say for sure when and in what source grouping renewables/nonrenewables

informative books i borrowed are: A wind turbine is a product that converts wind energy into electrical energy that is use to distribute to the homes of people. Benefits of a wind turbine: It does not release any harmful gases into the air when powered and it is also affordable in many different countries for supplying electricity to homes‚ by converting the wind energy to electricity for distribution. A hydropower is a production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force

Wind turbines don’t produce atmospheric emissions that cause acid rain or greenhouse gasses. Wind energy is a domestic source of energy. The nation’s wind supply is abundant: over the past 10 years‚ cumulative wind power capacity in the United States increased an average of 30% per year‚ outpacing the 28% growth rate in worldwide capacity. It’s sustainable. Wind is actually
