–net carbon emissions equal zero” ‚ is very much achievable‚ but there are huge obstacles that need to be overcome if one is to achieve it‚ as large interests wish to keep us dependent on fossil fuels‚ and important policy makers worry about productivity. Some countries are huge produces or investors in fossil fuel. Larger developed countries who are large polluters are therefore reluctant to change their ways. This is why China and other countries that are still expanding rapidly are building

TESTING YOUR COMPREHENSION 1) Why are fossil fuels our most prevalent source of energy today? Why are they considered nonrenewable sources of energy? Today‚ the three main fossil fuels that are in demand are oil‚ coal and natural gas. These fossil fuels are prevalent because they are efficient to burn‚ ship‚ and store based on high energy content. Fossil fuels also provide for our daily needs such as transportation‚ heating‚ cooking and electricity. Based on our current rates of consumption‚ we

The carbon dioxide‚ sulfur dioxide‚ and nitrogen oxides released by burning fossil fuels are threat to environment and humanity. The tendency of energy production and consumption are towards nonfossil fuel power. Therefore‚ the increase number of nuclear plants has been built to achieving mankind’s energy demand rise.

atmosphere trap heat from the sun. They let heat in‚ but prevent most of it from escaping. It is essential for life because we need a certain amount of radiation to heat up our atmosphere. What human activities produce Greenhouse Gases? By burning fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil and gas‚ Carbon Dioxide is released into the atmosphere. Deforestation also releases Carbon Dioxide. Farming in rice paddy fields and cattle farming produces Methane. Nitrous Oxide is produced by jet craft‚ car and lorry engines

Examples of these resources are Coal‚oil and natural Gasses‚ they are known to be fossil fuels; They take millions of years to form. They have to be mined or drilled from deposits deep within the earth. And the Reason we should save them is because if we don’t what will we have left for example if we use too much paper we will end up

It is an alternative from other resources such as fossil fuels‚ coal‚ and petroleum. Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide‚ which is way better than fossil fuels which releases harmful pollution. If more people recycled we could use that garbage and make energy from chemical gases. It is one of the bigger reusable resources. By using biomass you can reduce

The burning of caol and oil are the cause of the outrageous fossil fuels that are destroying the ozone. Majority of the world relies on electricity to survive. Over 50 percent of electricity produced in the world comes from the burning of coal. The average American uses enough electricity‚ annually‚ to burn over

This fact points to the actuality of this matter – the future of renewable energy is a very important question nowadays. My goal in this paper is to prove that renewable energy has far more advantages then fossil fuels and deserves to be called the “energy of the future”. To achieve this goal‚ I have organized my paper into three sections
