transportation. We also use energy sources to illuminate and power these same places. Oil has provided the United States with less than 50% of energy needs and supplies almost 97 percent of the energy used for transportation (Dale and Kluga‚ 1992). There are two sources of energy that we depend on: renewable and nonrenewable energy. Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural sources which is constantly renewed. Some examples of renewable energy are wind‚ water‚ sun‚ vegetation‚ and geothermal. Nonrenewable

green energy. Energy is very important to life. People use energy to keep the house warm‚ the lights on‚ and the food cold. There are many different types of green energy. One type of energy is solar. “Solar panel technologies promising enhanced power output The concept of non-conventional sources of energy is becoming a major subject of research as our planet is running out of its resources of non-renewable energy such as coal‚ petroleum‚ etc” (Athena Information Solutions Pvt. Ltd (2011)). Solar

Energy:Sustainability in energy means replacing non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels) with renewable sources such as solar‚ water and wind generation. Economic development:A sustainable approach must be able to improve people’s standards of living - particularly in the developing world - while actually reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions.

renewable resources are cleaner‚ efficient‚ and readily available. Renewable and Non-renewable energy Every resident in this community is reliant on outside sources that use non-renewable resources for power and to clean our water. Every day the resources used are depleted and will eventually run out; in the meantime we set idly by and watch prices escalate. Fossil fuels emit many pollutants (EPA‚ 2008) into the air and encourage global warming. Those

forefront of nuclear research and had planned on building nuclear power plants. However‚ in 1985‚ the Danish parliament passed a resolution that nuclear power plants would not be built in the country and there is currently no move to reverse this situation. In 2010‚ Denmark generated 38.6 billion kWh of electricity gross‚ 44% (16.9 billion kWh) of this from coal‚ 20% (7.9 billion kWh) from gas and 20% (7.8 billion kWh) from wind. Per capita electricity use is about 6000 kWh/yr and has been largely

intensifying the search for sustainable‚ clean‚ renewable and eco-friendly alternatives to fossil fuels (Venkata mohan et al.‚ 2008). Renewable energy can be defined as energy that comes from constantly replenished resources such as sunlight‚ rain‚ wind‚ hydropower and fuel cells. Renewable bioenergy is considered one of the new ways to resolve the current global warming problem. Renewable energy generation and waste disposal are two key challenges

were concentrated by time‚ pressure‚ and terrain into various carbon deposits containing significant amounts of energy‚ which ancient swamps and forests soaked up from the sun (Kelley 14). This means that the energy that we use today for fuel and power to provide electricity for our homes and offices is a dying source. Fossil fuels take millions of years to be reproduced‚ and the way America burns through them‚ it would be impossible for them to be a consistent source of energy. From looking at

They can be exploited for production of energy to meet rapidly increasing energy demand as well as environmental protection. • Main RE resources in VN are small hydro power‚ biomass energy‚ wind energy‚ solar energy‚ and geothermal energy. • So far‚ even the high potential of RE resources‚ their contribution in electricity production in Vietnam is still negligible. • The Government of VN recognized important role of RE in sustainable

suggest that our school tuck shop can use reusable cutlery instead of disposable chopsticks and plastic spoon. Through this policy‚ it can raise students’ awareness of environmental protection effectively. Furthermore‚ schools may develop the wind turbines for wind power and solar energy. It can save more energy. For developing a greener environment‚ we can plant more trees. I hope you can give me some opinions as to how to enhance a greener environment. Please write to me soon.
