Lecturer: Mrs. Priyadharshini Ahrumugam Impacts of renewable energy sources Renewable energy is a form of usable energy generated by non-conventional energy sources. Non-conventional energy refers to geothermal heat‚ biomass‚ wind and solar. They are constantly replenished and will never run out. These renewable sources are not causing environmental pollution and produce less or zero carbon emissions. Relying on renewable energy sources will help reduce the contribution of carbon dioxide caused

HISTORY OF SOLAR ENERGY Jake Tutorow Indiana Institute of Technology Fort Wayne‚ IN Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explain the history of solar energy as well as the difficulties faced in acquiring government support and investments for infrastructure and technological gains. The history of solar energy is broken into five distinct categories: Earth energy‚ the ancient solar age‚ the modern solar age‚ solar in the 1950s‚ solar today‚ and agriculture. Earth energy focuses on the understanding

Renewable Energy Vs. Non-Renewable Disley Perera HUM/111 March 30th‚ 2013 Pamela Harris Abstract For my research on renewable energy and nonrenewable energy I gathered several pros and cons. I have described them‚ and the reasons as to why I believe both sources have important facts of why and why not we should continue the use of these. My thoughts on renewable energy of course is more determined for the fact that it is based of natural energy unlike nonrenewable that is

source of energy? Energy is essential for life. We use it in factories‚ in cars‚ airplanes‚ trains and ships. To heat food‚ light our houses etc. However‚ energy consumption is different in different countries. Since always human beings have used energy sources to do work or produce heat. Firstly‚ they used domestic animals or their physical forces. After‚ they used the wind and the water. Then‚ they exploited the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy. In the near future we hope new energy sources
