Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their “carbon footprint” by altering methods of transportation‚ energy consumption and diet. Proponents of sustainable living aim to conduct their lives in ways that are

Most Energy Efficient How does a wind turbine’s output vary with wind pressure (height of water)‚ the flow rate‚ size of the motor‚ and type of blade? Introduction There are many types of energy used today: Fossil fuels‚ coal‚ nuclear energy‚ solar energy‚ geothermal energy‚ hydrogen energy‚ hydroelectric energy‚ wind energy‚ and biofuels and biomass. Non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels and coal are diminishing since it cannot be recycled‚ unlike wind energy (renewable). Also‚ use of

Renewable energy sources like wind turbines and tidal barrages are better for the environment than nuclear power and fossil fuels. They also have the potential to last forever. So why are they not being used all over the world? A reason for this is because switching to renewable energy as a primary source would cost a lot of money. Some countries don’t think it is worth it‚ and others simply can’t afford to. There are also many nations that earn a vast amount of money from oil and coal‚ that wouldn’t

with fossil fuels‚ there is need to embrace the use of renewable energy sources. However‚ not all technologies that are employed in renewable energy production are appropriate to all applications or sites. For example‚ it may not be possible to use wind energy to generate enough electricity to run a factory. On the other hand‚ geothermal energy cannot be harnessed in certain places. Nrdc.org reports that every state in America can produce its own energy from clean‚ renewable sources. This has led

ENERGY CONSERVATION REFERENCE ENERGY Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe. We use energy to do work. Energy lights our cities. Energy powers our vehicles‚ trains‚ planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes‚ cooks our food‚ plays our music‚ gives us pictures on television. Energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm. Energy from the sun gives us light during the day. It dries our clothes when they’re hanging outside on a clothes line. It helps
