Alternative Energy Sources In our homes‚ at our workplaces‚ and in our leisure‚ humans consume energy in every activity at alarming and around the clock pace. We have past the days of wind-up clocks and toys‚ foot-pedaled big wheels‚ and hand-cranked cars. Today‚ everything we operate comes fully loaded with all the ‘bells and whistles’‚ neon lights‚ and fancy remote functions. But at what price is this costing us‚ our environment‚ and our future. Alternative energy sources‚ also known as renewable

Alternate energy source: Solar Energy Solar energy is one of most popular energy sources around the world. this is because it us conveniently to obtainable‚ as well as space efficient. It doesn’t take up a lot space and give superb energy. The sun is one of the most reliable energy sources on this planet. This is because the sun has been predicted to stay “alive” for many million years to come. It’s radiation also does not fluctuate from day to day like other sources of energy. Solar energy is most

Energy is an important resource that drives the economic growth of a nation. The easy availability of energy resources for consumption greatly helps in industrialization of a country which in turn could lead to numerous other opportunities like increased employment‚ expansion in industrial development‚ and help the nation attain economic self-sufficiency. On the other hand‚ the scarcity of energy resources possess great threats such as rising food prices‚ relocations of agriculture and manufacturing

Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

1. INTRODUCTION The sun is the largest source of renewable energy and this energy is abundantly available in all parts of the earth. It is in fact one of the best alternatives to the non-renewable sources of energy. Solar energy has been used since prehistoric times‚ but in a most primitive manner. Before 1970‚ some research and development was carried out in a few countries to exploit solar energy more efficiently‚ but most of this work remained mainly academic . After the dramatic rise in oil

Whenever you save energy‚ you not only save money‚ you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ the primary contributor to global warming‚ and other pollutants. You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers have a real choice and the power to change
