98 percent‚ that allowed consumers to keep their light and heat on 24/7 even in extreme hot and cold weather (“Nuclear Matters ”‚ n.d.). Besides environment and reliability‚ nuclear energy has more efficiency than burning fossil fuels. It has high energy density viruses to fossil fuels (“Nuclear Energy”‚ n.d.). To illustrate‚ a gram of uranium releases an amount of energy much more than a gram of coal or oil; approximately eight thousand times(Parker‚ 2010). However‚ that is also excellent for the

Experts gave deadlines to our country’s natural resources. In 2025‚ trees in the forests of our country may possibly be gone. Same in this year‚ we will be suffering from low supply of clean water in the country. We could also suffer in low supply of fossil fuels in 2030. And in 2050‚ there’s no more fishes to eat. I’ve learned about the four main problem that we and the country will be facing in the future. One of the problem in the country is about the marine resources. It is shown in the documentary

These sources are clean and non- polluting of dangerous gases keeping it to a minimal considerable amount. These sources can never be exhausted

| Fossil Fuel: Natural Gas | Renewable resource: Wind Power | Describe this resource | Natural Gas in a Hydrocarbon gas that is naturally occurring. It consists of mostly methane and is used as fuel for some vehicles and heating the home. | Wind power is one of the cleanest sources of electricity. It usually involves a fan that spins‚ and the energy is transported to a generator. | Advantages of this resource (include at least two) | 1. Very abundant underground.2. Is cleaner than most other

Part B: Summary In his article ‘Fossils Fuels Improve The Planet’‚ Mr Alex Epstein’s main claim was that fossil fuels are not dirty energy as they have created clean‚ healthy and liveable human environment. He also concluded that unlike fossil fuels‚ solar and wind energy - dubbed as cleaner energy - are expensive‚ unreliable and not abundant. He began by arguing that fossil-fuels-powered technologies and facilities have enabled humans to live in the most clean‚ healthy and liveable condition in

the temperature. I believe are affecting global warming by burning fossil fuels. I think this because of the sea level‚ burning of fossil fuels‚ and deforestation. One reason I believe humans are affecting global warming is because the ocean has risen about 4-8 in the last 100 years. That may not sound like that much but it’s a significant amount. In an online article it says‚ it’s getting hotter because humans are burning fossil fuels which trap heat and energy into the atmosphere. Thus heating

It seems so disputed and heated that you could compare it to the rivalry in our political system among democrats and republicans. Each side wishes to strengthen our communities‚ states
