Moreover Radars‚ spacecrafts‚ interstellar probes and other advanced communication devices require much larger power than that can be met by conventional energy sources. The solution to long term energy source is the nuclear powered batteries which have a life span of few decades and can pack in energy densities thousands of time greater than conventional battery sources. Hence‚ there is an urgent need to harvest enormous amount of energy released naturally by the

It lights up our days‚ supports all life on Earth‚ drives the Earth ’s climate and weather and is predominately responsible for the class of resources collectively known as renewable energy. Speaking of renewable energy‚ is solar energy the only one? Of course no‚ there are many things around us that we can

Hydrofracking has currently become a controversial issue due to many disagreements between the members of the government and environmental activists on its varying costs and benefits on the economy‚ the environment‚ and the state in general. Undoubtedly‚ hydrofracking remains as one of the best options for supplying energy throughout

electrical energy would then be stored in a manufacturing facility locally so that the solar energy could be converted and used by millions of people. The Meinel’s proposal was dismissed in the 1970’s‚ but recently‚ solar panel plants have begun to sprout in the Mojave Desert. There are currently fourteen pending solar projects that have been proposed to be built in the Mojave Desert. There are also currently already four solar plants built there. Benefits 1.

Wind Energy System based on Buck-boost Controller Abstract – In this edge most of the countries are facing energy related problem therefore researchers are now try to find such a system which should not create any environment issues. In nature there is various non-conventional resources use for the generation of electricity such as water‚ sunlight‚ geothermal energy. But there is disadvantage of solar energy is that we can’t generate power using solar energy in rainy season and in night time

Green Economy: We depend on the earth’s natural resources that have a limited capacity to regenerate and renew itself‚ forcing us to design an economic model which is good in conserving energy‚ natural resources‚ reducing emissions‚ reducing pollution and at the same time providing jobs to people. This kind of a design leads to the Green Economy which is a clean energy economy. It aims in providing: Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy and the efficient use of it.

their power from coal‚ 27% from natural gas and 19% from nuclear power (“U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis”). However‚ fossil fuels are quickly running out‚ as they are a nonrenewable resource. Scientists predict coal resources will run out in 110 years‚ oil in 53 years and natural gas in 54 years. While a century to half a century seems like a long time‚ these resources are‚ in actuality‚ quickly being depleted and‚ in a few generations‚ may be obsolete

of the current state of our environment. Mother Earth is on the brink of total destruction brought about by pollution‚ irresponsible use of resources‚ and the excessive use of conventional fuel such as fossil fuel and nuclear energy. Part of the efforts to save our planet is to shift from using conventional fuels to alternative ones such as wind energy‚ solar‚ tidal‚ wave‚ thermal‚ biogas and biodiesel‚ alcohol and gasohol‚ and agro/industrial wastes.
