What does a car‚ heater‚ and stove have in common? They are all powered by fuel sources. The most popular being fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are dead plant and animal matter that has been compressed and heated over millions of years. They are burned to create heat‚ which in turn creates energy. However‚ with heavy industrialization (agricultural and manufacturing)‚ transportation‚ and personal energy use‚ our world’s fossil fuel supplies are rapidly depleting. Even more‚ fossil fuels pollute our environment

TRADITIONAL ENERGY SOURCES SIDE BY SIDE RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES: WHICH ONE IS MORE LIKELY TO WIN THE BATTLE WITHIN THE FOLLOWING DECADES? Assuming that the energy is a vital asset for the human being‚ it’s really hard to answer this question‚ because both of them have advantages and disadvantages. When I read for the first time this question I immediately thought that renewable energy sources would win‚ but then I realize that it can’t‚ because this kind of energy is not able to generate

Energy: Nuclear Fusion‚ Hydroelectric‚ and Hydrogen Fuel Cells In today’s world‚ where everyone owns an electronic appliance‚ energy is an extremely valuable resource and in high demand. Though in the past this energy was provided by burning fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas‚ this way of providing energy can’t last much longer due to the dwindling amount of fossil fuels and the damage it causes to the environment. Therefore‚ scientists have been searching for new ways of providing energy

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 and

Renewable and Non-renewable energy sources &Fuels: Renewable energy comes from natural sources that are constantly and sustainably replenished. The most common renewable energy sources are biomass‚ hydroelectric‚ geothermal‚ wind power and solar power. Sunlight is the source of most renewable energy power; the sun can be used to produce solar energy which is electricity for heating‚ cooling‚ lighting homes and transportation.

Governments should make more effort to promote alternative sources of energy. To what extent do you agree or disagree? In today’s world‚ many countries have started utilizing alternative sources of energy. For my perspective‚ there are both positive and negative effects to discuss about whether governments need to promote alternative sources of energy or not. To begin with‚ the merits of the issue‚ using alternative sources of energy is one of the best policies to save our natural resources

Nuclear Power is reliable yet controversial source of energy in the U.S. Many people have different viewpoints on Nuclear energy. Although nuclear energy can cause many problems such as nuclear accidents‚ it saves money‚ produces less pollution‚ and it can be made in any environment. The benefits of nuclear energy outweigh the risks. Without nuclear energy we would be relying on the weather for energy. Nuclear energy is energy that forms in the nucleus of an atom. The process begins with an uranium
