Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ and geothermal heat‚ which are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables‚ with 10% coming from traditional biomass‚ which is mainly used for heating‚ and 3.4% from hydroelectricity. New renewables (small hydro‚ modern biomass‚ wind‚ solar‚ geothermal‚ and biofuels) accounted for another 3% and are growing very rapidly. The share of renewables

As predicted gas has risen over twelve dollars a gallon. The latest class of hybrid cars are unable to keep up with the diminishing amount of oil. The days of suburban towns have long passed. Major methods of transportation now consist of walking and biking. With the staggering amount of people flocking towards cities – as living in one is the only way to commute to work and to buy food and other necessities —overpopulation threatens safety. With no consistent source of energy to turn to‚ the world

(Altars 8). The majority of America’s oil is used to make gasoline for cars and other motor vehicles‚ it is also refined to generate electric power and diesel engines (Altars 6). If the United states were to extinguish the use of fossil fuels and switch over to renewable resources the nation would be using resources such as wind power‚ solar power‚ hydro-power‚ and even biomass. These resources are considered to be environmentally friendly and and more beneficial for american foreign policy‚ but there

vision for large-scale offshore floating wind turbines was introduced by Professor William E. Heronemus at the University of Massachusetts in 1972‚ but it was not until the mid 1990’s‚ after the commercial wind industry was well established‚ that the topic was taken up again by the mainstream research community. Current fixed-bottom technology has seen limited deployment to water depths of 20 m. As the technology is advanced into deeper water‚ floating wind turbine platforms maybe the most economical

After having worked in the oil industry for five years and seeing first hand the impact oil production may have on our planet the experience caused me to ask myself‚ “Is there a better way?” This and many other questions sparked curiosity to the effects our current methods have on our people and the way we live and work. On a global scale renewable energy supplies a significant benefit to our planet such as‚ lowering energy costs‚ job creation‚ and preserving the environment. With energy costs continuously

use as our source of energy.These include energy from water(Hydropower)‚ wind‚ the sun(solar power)‚ geothermal sources‚ and biomass fuel. In contrast‚ fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas are non-renewable‚it’s finite and will some day run out completely. One of the most common renewable energy in the US is Hydropower. Hydroelectric power is generated from the force of moving or falling water. Most hydroelectric power comes from dammed water in lakes and reservoirs falling through turbines
