almost a century. However‚ oil has now been recognized as a strong catalyst for global warming‚ it is becoming scarce and therefore‚ an expensive necessity to America’s economy. In the recent years many universities and scientists have looked for alternatives to oil in the form of renewable energies. These renewable energy sources would be cheaper in the long run‚ more efficient and environmentally clean. America as a whole must look into these new forms of renewable energy to determine if they are

alternative energy : bio fuel - "Ethanol in the Race of the Bio-Fuels " By: Thomas Dwyane Much talk has been going on about the use of the so-called alternative fuel sources in order to answer the demand of preserving the environment. One of the highest possible sources of this alternative fuel is ethanol‚ or that fuel which is derived from corn. Ethanol‚ also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol or more commonly referred to simply as alcohol‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ and slightly toxic chemical

ENERGY SECURITY Energy security means having access to the requisite volumes of energy at affordable prices in association with national security and the availability of natural resources for energy consumption. From the perspective of a government concerned and the management of strategic interests‚ energy security implies energy policies and standby measures that can be implemented in the event of a supply disruption—and at a cost that its citizens consider reasonable. Such measures include energy

2012 Alternative Energy Sources In the world today‚ alternative energy sources are becoming more and more of a necessity. Right now‚ the world’s energy demand is greatly increasing mostly because of population growth. Even though the rate of population growth is very diverse in different countries‚ the world’s population doubles about every thirty years. The world energy use is doubling every fourteen years (Hodgson). Still‚ the main energy source is oil. The other primary source of energy is coal

Stevenson Public Utility Paper Nuclear Power plant as a new alternative source of energy in Malaysia The first time the world was exposed the enormous potential power of nuclear was when the United States of America dropped two atomic bombs into Japan which effectively ended World War 2. Almost every country stood by and watched as the bombs made by the simple process of fission of two atomic particles produced enough power to destroy two big cities. The understanding of nuclear was not at a high
