Solar Energy: United States Landowners and Residents University of Kentucky CIS 111 Section 003 Dr. Witte March 11‚ 2011 Solar Energy: United States Landowners and Residents In today’s world‚ which most definitely has an environmentalist mindset‚ there seems to be a feud or conflict between those in favor of fossil fuels and those in favor of alternative energy‚ i.e. solar energy. It seems so disputed and heated that you could compare it to the

Alternative Energy: The correct response to diminishing fossil fuels In 1977‚ the President of the United States of America‚ Jimmy Carter‚ advocated for the use of alternative energy to the American people “because we are now running out of gas and oil‚ we must prepare quickly to strict conservation [of fossil fuels] and to the use of coal and permanent renewable energy sources‚ like solar power.” More than thirty years later his announcement still rings true and is relevant. In fact‚ the current

Nuclear energy leads to an unsafe‚ unstable and unclean environment. The producing of nuclear energy can lead to both good and bad things‚ but two thing that come with producing nuclear energy are the high dangers and expenses. Many risks and high dangers of producing nuclear energy are any where from health issues to major meltdowns of nuclear plants. Expenses of nuclear energy plants are very expensive to build and to sustain them through the years. Renewable energy is a safer option for the environment

PASSAGE: Alternative Energy Sources Passage Alternative Sources of Energy Leisa Pichard For six years‚ I lived with my family in a solar-powered home. We met all of our electrical needs with an eight-panel solar array‚ a battery system for storing the electricity‚ and a gas-powered‚ back-up generator. For us‚ solar power was a practical solution to a real problem. For what it would have cost us to have the power company run lines to our remote home‚ we could buy a complete power system
