government also has put in place two programs called‚ Solar Energy Technologies Program and The Wind and Hydropower Technologies Program. These programs will research‚ develop and organize solar and wind energy supply potential (Department of Energy‚ 2006). Alternative Energy What is Renewable Energy? Renewable energy means it comes from a source that’s constantly renewed. For instance‚ the wind keeps blowing‚ the sun keeps shining‚ and the Earth keeps heating underground rocks. This energy will

The cost per unit of energy is also increasing day by day due to the depletion of available resources. Therefore development of alternative resources of energy is important

many times the world’s energy demand. Renewable energy sources such as biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ hydropower‚ and geothermal can provide sustainable energy services‚ based on the use of routinely available‚ indigenous resources. A transition to renewables-based energy systems is looking increasingly likely as their costs decline while the price of oil and gas continue to fluctuate. In the past 30 years solar and wind power systems have experienced rapid sales growth‚ declining capital costs and costs of

Footprint of Wind Energy Mark Jacobson is a Professor of Civil and Environmental engineering at Stanford University. Among other degrees he holds a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science. Dr. Jacobson is a proponent of wind energy and outlined many of his claims about the future viability of wind energy in the TedTalk debate with environmentalist Stewart Brand. Dr. Jacobson’s argument in the debate claims that we don’t need to turn to nuclear energy for energy support in this country because wind energy has

different ways. Most alternative energy sources give off little to no pollution and help reduce global warming. Also‚ renewables end up paying for themselves in as little as five years. A few popular alternative energy sources are wind power‚ solar power‚ hydropower‚ and biomass power. The use of alternative energy sources should be increased because they decrease global warming‚ do not give off pollution‚ are renewable and cost-effective. Since oil and coal are not renewable resources and the environment

Conventional Sources of Energy: The sources of energy which have been in use since a long time are called conventional sources of energy. Coal‚ petroleum‚ natural gas‚ hydel energy‚ wind energy and nuclear energy are considered to be the conventional sources of energy. Additionally‚ firewood is also a conventional source of energy but its usage is now limited to kitchens in the rural parts of India. Fossil Fuels: Coal and petroleum
