Renewable Energy: Renewable energy is a form of clean energy that is provided by natural sources present in nature. The main forms of renewable energy are: solar‚ wind‚ hydro‚ biofuel and geothermal (energy derived from heat generated under the earth’s surface) and these sources are all continually replenished! In some countries‚ renewable energy is cheaper than fossil fuels. Renewable energy is a much cheaper alternative in some countries because of their ability to harness sources of energy

bigger cars‚ houses‚ longer commutes‚ and more traveling. The needs and desires of our population are still rising. The United States is one of the top consumers in the world‚ when it comes to the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are used to power vehicles‚ cool and heat homes‚ and to generate electricity. Fossil fuels are naturally formed from dead plants and animals over millions and millions of years. Oil‚ natural gas‚ and coal are examples of fossil fuels. The world is aware that

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

the accelerating pace of the technological boom‚ the need for an efficient and practical use of Earth’s resources has astronomically increased. Traditional manipulations of fossil fuels represent an arduous and taxing means for producing energy to power further innovation. Therefore‚ novel methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major

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
