production from a combination of hydroelectric‚ wind and solar power. It takes three thousand megawatts to power the metropolitan area and our current usage of electricity is being powered by the use of oil and natural gas. However‚ there has been a push in the state of Texas to explore and begin the use of renewable resources. Many areas in the state have begun “wind farms” where areas of high winds are suitable for wind turbines to harvest the wind power and produce energy for the area. Because of

Ethanol What is Ethanol? Ethanol‚ which is sometimes called ethyl alcohol‚ pure alcohol‚ or grain alcohol is defined as‚ “a high octane‚ clean burning‚ American- made renewable fuels.” Ethanol is an increasing important aspect of our society and its popularity is becoming more widespread on a daily basis. Ethanol‚ a substance made out of Sugar-cane‚ maize‚ sorghum‚ wheat ‚ and other grains‚ has become one of the main viable source of energy in the world. In countries like South

There is a growing crisis over the world’s energy resources to try and find sustainable solutions to the world’s problems. There are 3 responses to help cover the crisis; Business as usual‚ Multi-energy solution and energy conservation. The business as usual scenario involve the world to keep using the fossil fuels and the International Energy Agency predicts that fossil fuels will still dominate energy into 2030‚ which cancels out the predictions of fossil fuels running out by then with the growing

The world needs to move in a direction that will lead to energy independence however businesses and society is slow to move because we cannot see the impacts until it hits home in that all of sacred places‚ our wallets.

one advocated is the use of renewable energy. This is any energy resource that is naturally regenerated over a short time scale and derived directly from the sun (such as thermal‚ photochemical‚ and photoelectric)‚ indirectly from the sun (such as wind‚ hydropower‚ and photosynthetic energy stored in biomass)‚ or from other natural movements and mechanisms of the environment (such as geothermal and tidal energy). Non-renewable energy includes energy resources derived from fossil fuels‚ waste products

The other reason why it is not possible for it to replace fossil feuls is that renewable energy is not reliable. It relays heavily on the wheather condition‚ rain‚ sunshine‚ wind etc. These wheather condition is something that people cannot control‚ without sunshine‚ solar pannels cannot generate energy. Without wind‚ wind mills is not able to generate energy. When there is a drought‚ hydro electric plants are not capable of generating energy‚ and the same appilies to all of the renewable energy
