The government expects enormous increases in solar and wind power capacity for 2018 — solar will increase from 54.6 MW in 2012 to 627.5 MW in 2018‚ while wind will reach 8‚922 MW from its current 1‚332 MW in the same period.

Drilling for oil in Alaska‚ specifically its North Slope region continues to be a controversial topic amongst environmentalists‚ politicians and the oil industry. The North Slope is home to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge‚ as well as the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field and the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4‚ the first oil-drilling site in the state. The government established the 12-million acre Reserve No. 4 in 1923 as a way to supply oil for ensuring national security. There are many arguments for and

(Ayres‚ 2010) To begin‚ solar power is so beneficial in itself that everyone would want to convert‚ if only they had more knowledge of it. The fact is‚ the sun is consistent every day and all day long; it is a renewable resource that’s environmentally friendly and doesn’t release anything

China’s Pollution Problem China‚ one of the worlds largest industrial powers‚ is now facing a difficult situation. China’s industries rely largely on coal power which emits harmful gases‚ causing intense air pollution. The Chinese government‚ in fear that the country would fall in a recession‚ has not done much to stop these industries‚ so China has become the second largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world. The types of pollution created by this include air pollution and water pollution‚ both

there will come a point when oil that is fossil fuels will have been depleted. However‚ waiting until supplies are exhausted would place a major hardship upon future energy demands. Even the existence of other conventional sources such as hydropower‚ wind energy and biomass will not suffice keeping in mind the rapid advancement. It is therefore imperative to look for alternative sources of energy in order to avoid the inevitable disasters that lie ahead. For the last few years‚ major research is

Nuclear power is generated at nuclear power plants. The power plants create energy by splitting atoms of radioactive material‚ usually uranium‚ to create a nuclear reaction. A downside to this is that nuclear power plants leave behind toxic waste and can cause nuclear disasters if destroyed (“Alternative Energy Sources”). Wind power is the oldest form of energy; even predating fossil fuels. Windmills generate electricity by using the fins to catch the wind. As the fins spin‚ a system
